"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 September 12, 2023, and was broadcast live on Stardom's YouTube channel.[5]
The event began with the three-way match between Pro Wrestling Wave's Kizuna Tanaka, Hanako and Hina, solded with the victory of the latter. Next up, Ruaka picked up a victory over Lady C in singles competition. In the third bout, Donna Del Mondo's Thekla defeated Club Venus' Sexy Dynamite Princess and Waka Tsukiyama in three-way action. In the fourth bout, Tam Nakano defeated Yuna Mizumori in what was billed as Mizumori's admission match into the Cosmic Angels unit. Despite the latter falling short, Nakano was impressed by her performance and appointed Mizumori as an official member of the unit. The fifth bout saw 7Upp's Nanae Takahashi picking up a victory over Mei Seira in one of her Passion injection matches. In the semi main event, Rina defeated Professional Wrestling Just Tap Out's Azusa Inaba to secure the third consecutive defense of the Future of Stardom Championship in that respective reign.[6] [7] [8]
