Stardom wrapped up the 2024 Cinderella Tournament today with the tour-ender in Nagoya.
Today’s event was held at Nagoya Congress Center Event Hall in Nagoya and can be watched on demand on PPV via Pia Stream for 4400 Japanese yen (around $30 US) until Saturday morning. It should be available on demand on Stardom World after that. It is Japanese commentary with Haruo Murata, Kagehiro Osano & special guest MIRAI (but not for the whole event).
The announced paid attendance was 994, a full house/near sellout. The Event Hall has a normal full capacity of 1800 so they probably had a max setup of maybe 1200.
Match 1: Mayu Iwatani beat Yuzuki.
Match 2; Gina, HANAKO, Waka Tsukiyama & Mina Shirakawa beat Ranna Yagami, Saki Kashima, MIRAI & Syuri. Shirakawa pinned Yagami after Venus Tower.

Match 8: Cinderella Tournament Finals: Hanan beat Ami Sohrei to win the tournament. Hanan wins a trophy and a Cinderella dress for winning. If she gets a title shot, Hanan made it clear she wants the Wonder Of Stardom Championship.
Main Event: World Of Stardom Champion Maika beat Utami Hayashishita to retain the title. V2 for Maika. With only 19 seconds left to spare before it would have been a 30 minute time limit draw. Next up: If what Maika said post-match holds true, Meghan Bayne. That match will happen on 4/4 in Philadelphia, PA if so. It also has been announced that 4/4 will be a PPV only on TrillerTV (fka FITE) in English only for $24.99. No Pia PPV or Japanese option. Start time will be 3 PM ET/Noon PT.
