The was the sixth annual professional wrestling single-elimination tournament promoted by World Wonder Ring Stardom in Tokyo, Japan. The event took place on March 24, 2020, with a limited attendance due in part to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic at the time.[2]
The show featured thirteen Cinderella Tournament matches and a dark match with scripted storylines, where wrestlers portray villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that built tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.[3] The matches can be won by pinfall, submission or elimination over the top rope. A time-limit draw or a double elimination means a loss for each competitor.
The first-round matches were broadcast live on Stardom's YouTube channel.[4] The preshow included a dark match in which Sumire Natsu and Hina defeated Itsuki Hoshino and Rina. The tournament had two draws, one between Utami Hayashishita and Maika, and the other one between Hana Kimura and Mayu Iwatani, therefore Tam Nakano and Natsuko Tora received walkover victories straight through the semi-finals. Giulia won the Cinderella Tournament, with her granted wish being a match for the Wonder of Stardom Championship against the then-time champion Arisa Hoshiki.[5] [6] However, Hoshiki retired from professional wrestling on May 20, 2020, leaving Giulia to challenge for the vacant title against Tam Nakano.[7]
The tournament was composed by 16 competitors including the champions. It was the last event to conclude in a single day.[8]
