Stardom ran their latest NEW BLOOD event today in Tokyo.
Today’s event was held at Tokyo Square in Tokyo and can be watched on demand FOR FREE on YouTube.
The paid attendance has not yet been announced
Match 1: HANAKO & Waka Tsukiyama beat Akira Kurogame & Yuria Hime. HANAKO beat Hime with a scorpion deathlock. This was incorrectly listed on some sites as a Nee Blood Tag Team Championship match-it actually was a NON-TITLE match.
Match 2: Kaori Yoneyama beat Rian. This was billed as Yoneyama’s first appearance in Stardom in a long time, hiding that she appears regularly as Fukigen.
Match 3: Tomoka Inaba, Hina & Kiyoka Kokatsu beat Cohaku (WAVE), Honoka (WAVE) & Saluran. Hina pinned Honoka after a modified jackhammer. Afterwards in backstage comments, Hina made a Future Of Stardom Championship challenge for whoever wins the next title match later this month, when Miyu Amasaki defends against HANAKO.
Match 4: Azusa Inaba & Rina beat Yume Makoto & Mizuki Kato (Diana). Rina pinned Makoto after Pink Devil. Afterwards, despite the loss, Makoto & Kato made a New Blood Tag Team Championship challenge.
Main Event: Ranna Yagami, Nanami (Diana) & Hiniko beat Yuna Mizumori, Aya Sakura & Sayaka Kurara. Nanami pinned Sakura with a Northern Lights suplex hold. Afterwards in backstage comments, Nanami stated she & Himiko will challenge for the New Blood Tag Team Championship on 3/1 at the next NEW BLOOD event.
The next event is Saturday at Kobe Art Center in Kobe. Live streaming on Stardom World will begin Friday at 8 PM PT/11 PM ET.
