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 seven 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] The event's press conference took place on July 25, 2023, and was broadcast live on Stardom's YouTube channel.[5]

Event

The show started with the singles confrontation between Lady C and Kohaku solded with the victory of the latter. Next up, Hanako and Pro Wrestling Wave's Kizuna Tanaka and Honoka picked up a victory over Ami Sourei and Diana's Nanami and Miran in a Six-woman tag team match. The third bout saw Suzu Suzuki and Mei Seira defeating Hanan and Hina in tag team action. In the fourth bout, Natsupoi defeated Yuna Mizumori in an evaluation match. Since Mizumori lost, she was declared as failed and next one to step up to furtherly test her was Cosmic Angels' unit leader Tam Nakano who challenged her to a match scheduled to take place at New Blood 11. Next up, Saori Anou defeated Miyu Amasaki in singles competition. The semi main event saw Nanae Takahashi picking up a victory over Stars' Saya Iida in a Passion injection match.
