The Rookie Cup was a tournament held by the Waifu Wrestling Alliance (WWA), intended to showcase some of the WWA Dojo rookies and trainees who had otherwise not had big singles matches on a PPV.
== Format ==
The Rookie Cup was officially announced soon following Showdown in Spaghetti Town, and was scheduled to take the form of a single elimination tournament. It was expected that eight rookies would enter, but due to the high number of eligible and intended competitors, the field was doubled to 16. Both Amy Flame and Sola Fire were expected to enter the competition, however both withdrew their names to allow less senior wrestlers to take part.
The field was finalised at the end of March 2023, and the official announcement was made on Sunday 2 April 2023. The sixteen entrants were named as (in alphabetical order):
Corn Girl 	Lightning Nika 	Neith 	Riley Rumrunner
Karna 	Lil Miss Moufette	Nico 	Robyn McDaid
Kryptine 	Little Beaver 	Olivia Kumpula	Shogun Aina
La Misquita	Lucy Lincoln 	Onigiri 	Steeli Yastuffi
