Stardom tuns their next NEW BLOOD event today, the sub-label featuring younger and less-experienced wrestlers. There are no title matches today which is rare (but also no HANAKO either, she holds both titles) but still some big matches on tap namely what is the final pre-retirement appearance in Stardom for Tae Honma (she retires on 10/13) as she faces Ranna Yagami. There also will be outside participation from Evolution, a small promotion run primarily by All-Japan veterans Suwama & Shuji Ishikawa.

Today’s event will be held at Belle Salle Shinjuku South Exit in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE FOR FREE on YouTube (it will also be available as an archived replay a few minutes after the event. It will not be available on Stardom World). There will be no commentary. There are 6 matches planned and these events normally run about 2 hours tops so I would anticipate more of the same today, probably not running any longer barring long matches or a long intermission.

Today’s lineup (match order TBA):
Ema Maishima vs. Kikyo Furusawa
Yuria Hime vs. Yuki Mashiro & Fukigen in a 3-way
Waka Tsukiyama & Rian vs. Echika Miyabi & Riara
Hina vs. Kiyoka Kokatsu
Bozilla & Akira Kurogame vs. ZONES & Soi
