MIRAI has emerged victorious after a 32-woman tournament to be crowned the winner of Stardom’s 2022 Cinderella Tournament.
On April 29, the semi-finals and the final match took place at the Ota City General Gymnasium in Tokyo, Japan. MIRAI advanced to the finals after causing Natsupoi to submit whereas Koguma advanced to face MIRAI after pinning Hazuki.
It would all come down to MIRAI and Koguma. This would be Koguma’s second time in a Cinderella Tournament. Back in 2015, she landed in the finals against Mayu Iwatani. Iwatani won that year.
After a near 12-minute match, MIRAI would go on to pin Koguma. She returned to the ring after the main event took place for her ceremony. MIRAI received her trophy and announced her wish which was granted to her for being the winner. She will be challenging for the Wonder of Stardom Championship.
