She then went on to clarify the event is completely free, “Tickets? What do you guys mean? Unlike other tournaments, this is free. You can watch it for free … You don’t have to pay for any tickets, any special cable, this is all free. No pay-per-view.”

WrestleSanji2023 format and details

WrestleSanji2023 is the successor to Selen’s NIJIWWE event in May 2022

Day one will consist of three groups of eight, in which the talents will be facing off in 1v1 single elimination matches. Due to the uneven number of talents, Uki Violeta and Luca Kaneshiro will face off in a single elimination match to determine who gets to take the final spot in group one. 

Pomu Rainpuff will be commentating on the matches alongside Selen.

The event will feature pre- and post-match interviews with all 25 talents. Selen cited the heated pre-game interview between Uki and Shu Yamino’s pre-game as the inspiration to carry on the tradition. Nina Kosaka will be acting as the interviewer for the event. 

The announcer for WrestleSanji2023 will be Vox Akuma, who will introduce each member and hype them up as they make their way into the ring.

Day two will consist of the finals, alongside a showmatch between the winner and 2022’s champion, Uki. Vox will be returning to cast the final day, alongside Doppio Dropscythe.

The winner of the show match will be taking home a real-life wrestling belt. The design of the belt will be revealed during day one of the event. 

The wrestlers will be CPU controlled, making the outcome of the match completely random. All the talents will still be present and will be participating in interviews and other events throughout WrestleSanji2023.

Prediction polls will be available for fans to guess who is going to win.

Wrestlers for each talent will either be fan-submitted or created by the talent themselves in the lead-up to the event. 

Here’s the WrestleSanji2023 bracket

The brackets were determined on Selen’s stream at random by spinning a wheel.
