# Stardom Cinderella Tournament

Stardom Cinderella Tournament (スターダムシンデレラトーナメント, Sutādamushindereratōnamento) is an annual single-elimination tournament created and promoted by the Japanese professional wrestling promotion World Wonder Ring Stardom. The event has been held since 2015 and aired domestically on Tokyo MX, Fighting TV Samurai and Nippon TV, and later as an internet pay-per-view on Stardom's streaming service Stardom World.
The main gimmick of the tournament is that the winner is being granted a wish, which usually turns up to be a championship match of their choice. Just as the real life fairytale of Cinderella depicting a girl who achieves fame after being obscure, the winner of the tournament transits from "neglected" to "famous", eventually moving up to a championship scene.

## Events

As of 2024, there have been a total of ten events. The first one was presented under the name of "Cinderella Champions Fiesta", and later on the series began being known simply as the "Cinderella Tournament".
