On June 6, 2026, on AEW Collision Hazuki defeated Persephone in an Owen Hart Foundation Tournament quarterfinal to advance. Persephone entered as the CMLL World Women's Champion and Hazuki is the Spark Joshi Women's Champion, making the match a champion versus champion encounter. After the match Mercedes Moné attacked Persephone from behind, prompting Hazuki to return to the ring and spar with Moné. The result advances Hazuki to the Owen Hart Cup semifinals and sets up a high-profile Hazuki versus Mercedes Moné semifinal with Summer Blockbuster implications.

Hazuki working a TV match is still a very new experience for her. She’s trying to balance doing a tournament-worthy match and winning over a foreign crowd. HUGE win for her over Persephone, who played up the left eye misting injury more prominently than in previous weeks. #AEWCollision

Folks who trash collision and refuse to give it a chance miss out on a consistently fun show week after week. Tonight was no different. Show was bookended by a pair of really good womens matches. Stp vs deathriders was awesome. #AewCollision

#AEWCollision continues to be for the girlies and the sickos, mostly, and I'm grateful for that

I know everyone is fantasy booking Mercedes winning the Owen but...she's gotta lose that final belt, right? That's the last one. #AEWCollision 🤼‍♂️

Yeah…. The way she was holding up the belt felt doomed 😅 like her clinging on to that belt could create the funniest upset rn

I was thinking that. She might lose to Athena.. 👀

And with two Stardom women that might face Thekla now that Persephone isn't the plan after all? Surely! Right? But then there's Athena too! And Mercedes can't be sniffed at. And Skye has had a few hints of rebellion. I really have no idea where we go here. It ALL makes sense to do.

HAZUKI defeats Persephone to advance in the Owen Cup. After the match, both women showed each other respect—until Mercedes Mone attacked Persephone from behind. Hazuki returned, and she and Mercedes went at it ahead of the Semi Final. A very good match too. #AEWCollision
