Stardom 5 Star Grand Prix 2022 (スターダム5スターグランプリ2022, Sutādamu 5 sutāguranpuri 2022), often stylized as 5★Star GP 2022 was the eleventh annual professional wrestling tournament under the Stardom 5Star Grand Prix Tournament branch promoted by the Japanese promotion World Wonder Ring Stardom.

Tournament history

The Stardom 5 Star Grand Prix is a professional wrestling tournament held each summer by Stardom. Similar to Bushiroad-owned male counterpart New Japan Pro-Wrestling with the G1 Climax tournament, it is currently held as a round-robin tournament with wrestlers split into two pools. The winner of each pool will compete in the final to decide the winner. As is the case with G1 Climax, a win is two points and a draw is one point for each wrestler.[2]

Storylines

The event featured professional wrestling matches that resulted from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.[3] The event's official press conference took place on July 7, 2022, and was broadcast live on Stardom's YouTube channel.[4]

The 20th day, which was also the day of the finals had Masaki Sumitani and Makoto Izubuchi joining the commentary table. Natsuko Tora returned from injury to challenge Utami Hayashishita to continue their feud which abruptly ended at Yokohama Dream Cinderella 2021 in Summer on July 4, an event where Tora sustained her injury. Giulia won the tournament by defeating Tam Nakano in the finals. The Donna Del Mondo leader challenged Syuri for the World of Stardom Championship at Stardom Dream Queendom on December 29, 2022.[5][6][7]

Participants

Qualifiers

Initially, twenty-two participants were announced for the final tournament, (except for the X) with three vacant slots. Therefore, a ten-woman qualification league divided into two blocks was announced to take place to fill the unoccupied spots. The best-ranked wrestlers from each block advanced into the final tournament. Due to Mai Sakurai and Saya Iida finishing the Block B point-tied, they both qualified for the final tournament. The qualification league took place between June 4 and 28.[8][9]
