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.

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.

Event

The entire event was broadcast live on Stardom's YouTube channel. In the first bout, New Blood Tag Team Champions Waka Tsukiyama and Hanako defeated Akira Kurogane and Yuria Hime in a non-title match. Next up, Kaori Yoneyama picked up a victory over Rian in singles competition.
