Yokohama Cinderella should have happened by now but COVID-19 caused the cancellation of the 2-day event.\u00a0 Stardom did manage to reschedule it for just one day and have compressed it into one supercard that features a number of title matches and some debuts.\u00a0 Let’s preview the card for this loaded Yokohama Cinderella event.<\/p>\n

Hanan vs Z\"Yokohama<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Hanan takes on a surprise opponent that will be announced on the day of the show.\u00a0 There are a number of freelance talents in Joshi that this could be like\u00a0Nao Kakuta<\/strong>,\u00a0Mina Shirakawa<\/strong>,\u00a0Saori Anou, <\/strong>and\u00a0Reika Saiki\u00a0<\/strong>to name just a few.\u00a0 It may also be a returning\u00a0Ruaka\u00a0<\/strong>or a talent from\u00a0Marvelous<\/strong>.\u00a0 Either way, Hanan has been on a hot streak of good matches recently so this is sure to be entertaining.<\/p>\n

Riho & Saya Iida vs Oedo Tai (Yuna Manase & Natsu Sumire)\"Riho<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Yuna Manase makes her return to Stardom and joins up with Oedo Tai to take on Iida and Riho.\u00a0 Iida takes pins lately and Manase getting a win on her comeback would be nice so we predict Manase pins Iida and Oedo Tai gets the win.<\/p>\n

XXXX vs DEATH Yama-San\"Yokohama<\/a><\/strong>Donna Del Mondo gains a new member at Yokohama Cinderella who will no doubt get the win here in her debut.\u00a0 On the most recent event, Donna Del Mondo ended the show making a pose<\/a> that is synonymous with\u00a0Natsumi Maki\u00a0<\/strong>leading to speculation that the new member will be her.\u00a0 Maki would be an interesting addition to DDM and continue their trend of bringing freelancers into Stardom.<\/p>\n

SWA Undisputed World Women’s Championship – Momo Watanabe vs Bea Priestley\"Bea<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Earlier this year Bea Priestley turned on Momo Watanabe and left Queen’s Quest.\u00a0 Watanabe never got her chance for payback after this as Priestley was back in the UK for a number of months.\u00a0 Priestley and Oedo Tai recently interfered in Watanabe’s match with\u00a0Jungle Kyona\u00a0<\/strong>and attacked both women which lead to Priestley challenging Watanabe for the SWA title.\u00a0 The SWA championship can only be defended against people from a different country than the holder so in today’s Stardom only Priestley could defend it meaning that she has to win but here’s hoping that Watanabe kicks the crap out of her to get some payback.<\/p>\n

No Rules Losers Unit Must Disband – Oedo Tai (Natsuko Tora & Saki Kashima) vs Tokyo Cyber Squad (Jungle Kyona & Konami)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

At the most recent Korakuen Hall event, Tokyo Cyber Squad won a match to save themselves from being disbanded.\u00a0 That must not have been enough for Kyona who immediately put the faction’s future up for grabs again but this time she also made Tora put her faction on the line.\u00a0 That bit of silly booking aside this match has years of history behind it.<\/p>\n

Going all the way back to Jungle Assault Nation\u00a0<\/strong>these two women were a tag team and the leaders of the faction.\u00a0 Towards the end of JAN, tensions flared between the two as Tora was clearly unhappy.\u00a0 When JAN was disbanded months later Tora happily got drafted into Oedo Tai and ever since she has made no attempt to hide her disdain for Kyona with both women going at it every chance they could get.\u00a0 Tora’s recent mission has been to take TCS away from Kyona and now its time for her to put up or shut up.<\/p>\n

Once again, these two women will go to war but this time with no rules and both Oedo Tai and TCS on the line.\u00a0 Kyona won’t want to be responsible for another faction going away, as it was her fault JAN disbanded, but Tora is on a mission and has been nothing but vicious since taking over Oedo Tai.<\/p>\n

This is a tag match though and the prevailing rumour is that Konami will turn heel on Kyona<\/p>\n

High Speed Championship – AZM (C) vs Starlight Kid\"Yokohama<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Thankfully this match was able to be rescheduled from the original cancellation.\u00a0 AZM and Kid are career rivals given they have both been in similar positions for their entire career and given their youth have always been compared to one another.\u00a0 While AZM went to Queen’s Quest and gained an attitude Starlight Kid has been molded by STARS to be a fighting babyface.\u00a0 Both have focused on the High Speed division for the last while, once again leading to comparisons, and now they will have a highly anticipated singles match for the title to determine who is better at this moment.\u00a0 These two have shown incredible chemistry every time they get in the ring together and with the reigns off here they could steal the show.<\/p>\n

Goddesses Of Stardom Championships – Queen’s Quest (Utami Hayashishita & Saya Kamitani) (C) vs Donna Del Mondo (Himeka & Maika)\"Himeka<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

5STAR Grand Prix winner Utami Hayashishita and Kamitani make defence number one of their tag team championships against QQ’s bitter enemies Donna Del Mondo.\u00a0 Maika defeated Hayashishita in the GP and recently won a match involving Kamitani to become Future Of Stardom champion so she may be her teams secret weapon.\u00a0 Himeka got to the final of the GP but lost to Hayashishita and could only manage a draw with Kamitani so QQ may have her number.\u00a0 We think QQ wins here as Hayashishita is on the path to her World Of Stardom title match and will need all the wins she can get.<\/p>\n

Wonder Of Stardom Championship – Giulia (C) vs Tam Nakano\"Yokohama<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

The feud between these two women rages on but hopefully, this is their last encounter for some time.\u00a0 They wrestled over the vacant Wonder Of Stardom title not too long ago in a nearly half hour contest that many fans thought was a below average offering.\u00a0 They then clashed in the 5STAR Grand Prix in a 10-minute sprint that showcased the best of both women in a hard hitting, intense match that Nakano won.\u00a0 Now they meet in this rubber match that hopefully takes more inspiration from their GP match than their Korakuen Hall match.<\/p>\n

World Of Stardom Championship – Mayu Iwatani (C) vs Syuri\"Mayu<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Mayu Iwatani defends her championship against Donna Del Mondo’s Syuri.\u00a0 Since arriving in Stardom Syuri has only one pinfall defeat on her record and had a good showing in the Grand Prix, just missing out on winning her block.\u00a0 Iwatani has a line of challengers lineup to face her including\u00a0Takumi Iroha\u00a0<\/strong>who is after her title shot which means that Iwatani is likely to win here but this is Stardom and Syuri is in DDM so we may see a surprise here at Yokohama Cinderella.<\/p>\n

Note: Yokohama Cinderella matches likely won’t begin uploading until October 5th as per the Stardom English language account<\/strong><\/p>\n
