STARDOM held a show in the Himeji today to continue the annual Cinderella Tournament, where the winner will receive a “wish” that leads to them challenging for a championship of their choosing, which has been the Wonder of Stardom Championship in recent years.
The second round continued with two upsets in Miyu Amasaki defeating Mai Sakurai after rolling her up and Ruaka eliminating Hazuki, who has been considered one of the favorites to win it all, by throwing her over the top rope to advance to the Quarterfinals. AZM & Xena unsurprisingly won their second-round matches in the tournament.
The Quarterfinals for the Cinderella Tournament:
-> Hanan vs. Starlight Kid
-> Ruaka vs. Xena
-> Ami Sohrei vs. Mei Seira
-> AZM vs. Miyu Amasaki
In the main event of the show, Tam Nakano & Crazy Star defeated Mayu Iwatani, Koguma & Yuzuki, and Oedo Tai’s Momo Watanabe, Starlight Kid & Natsuko Tora in a three-way Tag Team Match when Nakano pinned Yuzuki. After the match, Suzu Suzuki & Mei Seira officially once again challenged AphroditE for the Goddess of Stardom Championships, after the last match got canceled due to Suzuki being ill. It’s yet to be revealed when the match will happen.
