The tournament has been held every year since 2016, with the exception of 2020 and 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Beginning in 2016 as an all-female event, the tournament is used to feature some of the best female wrestlers from various countries. Following the introduction of the wXw Women's Championship in 2017, the tournament winner receives a title shot for the Women's Championship at a future date and time.
