Production

Background

"New Blood" is a series of events that mainly focus on matches where rookie wrestlers, usually with three or fewer years of in-ring experience, evolve. Besides wrestlers from Stardom, various superstars from multiple promotions of the Japanese independent scene are invited to compete in bouts that are usually going under the stipulation of singles or tag team matches.^[3]

The show featured professional wrestling matches that result from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portray villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.^[4]

Event

The entire event was broadcast live on Stardom's YouTube channel. It started with the singles confrontation between Hanan and Matoi Hamabe in the latter's very in-ring debut match, bout won by Hanan. Next up, High Speed Champion Mei Seira and Future of Stardom Champion Miyu Amasaki picked up a victory over Yuna Mizumori and Momoka Hanazono in tag team competition. The third bout saw Professional Wrestling Just Tap Out's Sumika Yanagawa and Misa Kagura defeating Aya Sakura and Kurara Sayaka in tag team competition. Next up, ChiChi and Zones defeated Hanako and Rian in another tag team bout.^[5]

In the main event, Rina and Azusa Inaba defeated Lady C and Ranna Yagami to secure the second consecutive defense of the New Blood Tag Team Championship in that respective reign.^[6][7]
