Post-show fallout
Following a near 20-minute tag match, Sareee thanked Natsupoi for selecting her as her opponent for her return match. Natsupoi then told the fans that she has come home before expressing her excitement upon seeing the fans in-person again.
Natsupoi was previously out of action due to an injury sustained five months prior. This match also marked Sareee’s debut in STARDOM. Both women have quite the history as close friends dating back to Natsupoi’s time in TJPW.
The Cinderella Tournament continues the following day at Korakuen Hall for some second round matches. Remaining matches for the second round are scheduled for March 16th. The finals of the tournament will be held on March 20th. WrestleZone will provide more updates as the tournament goes on.
