Triangle Derby I is the ongoing first annual round-robin six-woman tag team tournament event promoted by World Wonder Ring Stardom under the "Triangle Derby" branch. The event will take place between January 3 and March 4, 2023 with limited attendance due in part to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic at the time. It will also represent the first major event promoted by Stardom in 2023.[1]

Tournament history

The Stardom Triangle Derby is a professional wrestling tournament held annualy by Stardom. It is currently held as a round-robin tournament with teams of three wrestlers split into two pools. Contrary to most round-robin style tournaments, teams from the same pool don't face each other. Instead, each team faces all teams from the opposite pool. Matches are fought with a 15-minute time limit. A win is worth two points and a draw is worth one point. The top two teams from each pool will advance to a final single-elimination bracket.[1]

Storylines

The tournament will feature 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.[2] The event's official press conference took place on December 16, 2022, and was broadcast live on Stardom's YouTube channel.[3]

Participants

This is a list of participants which might change several times during the event. The tournament will feature fourteen teams formed by a total of fourty-two wrestlers, divided into two distinctive blocks with the two highest placed teams of their respective blocks moving on to the semifinals.[4]

*Noted underneath are the champions who held their titles at the time of the tournament.
