Tournament history
The Dream Star Grand Prix is a professional wrestling tournament held by Marigold. Similar to Bushiroad-owned counterpart tournaments New Japan Pro-Wrestling's G1 Climax and Stardom 5 Star Grand Prix, it is held as a round-robin tournament with wrestlers split into two pools. The winner of each pool competed in the final to decide the winner. As is the case with Bushiroad tournaments, a win is two points and a draw is one point for each wrestler.
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]
Qualifiers
The format of the tournament saw 16 wrestlers divided in two blocks. Marigold initially announced fifteen contestants with several extras (both domestic and from other organizations) having to undergo a qualifying gauntlet match.[4] However, on June 18, Marigold announced that Natsumi Showzuki would undergo shoulder surgery that would keep her out of action for the remainder of 2025, with another qualifying gauntlet match being made to determine her replacement.[5]
