Early Prediction
Momo Watanabe winning seems like a direction that they could go in. Watanabe has been elevated to Ace status ever since dethroning Io Shirai and going on a record breaking run with the Wonder Of Stardom Championship. Having her win the tournament would be another feather in her already impressive cap and allow her to win the World Of Stardom championship to take her rightful place at the top of the company
