STARDOM Announces Full Cinderella Tournament 2024 Lineup

STARDOM held a press conference to announce the participants of the tenth annual Cinderella Tournament to commence in March.

The Cinderella Tournament is STARDOM‘s second most prestigious annual tournament behind the 5 Star Grand Prix. In contrast to the 5 Star Grand Prix’s round robin system, the Cinderella Tournament follows a single elimination format. In 2024, a total of 24 women will compete for the Cinderella Wish. In recent years, the tournament winner’s wish has been used to challenge the reigning Wonder of Stardom Champion for their belt. The winner of the Cinderella Tournament has only challenged for the World of Stardom title on two occasions.
