Background
editThe "New Blood" is a series of events which mainly focus on matches where rookie wrestlers, usually with three or less 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]
Storylines
editThe show featured seven professional wrestling matches that resulted from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.[4] The event's press conference took place on June 14, 2022 and was broadcast live on Stardom's YouTube channel.[5]
Event
editThe entire event was broadcast live on Stardom's YouTube channel.[6] In the opening match, Donna Del Mondo's Mai Sakurai defeated Ganbare Pro-Wrestling's Yuuri. Next, God's Eye member Ami Sourei defeated World Woman Pro-Wrestling Diana's Nanami by way of submission. After Mirai and Suzu Suzuki's match ended in a draw, the latter kept on challenging Giulia as part of her still ongoing feud with her at the moment. Mai Sakurai appeared on behalf of Giulia, and then Risa Sera was summoned by Suzuki, a fact that hinted at a tag team match between the Donna Del Mondo and Prominence's unit members on further notice. After Ram Kaicho defeated Waka Tsukiyama in the fifth match, Rina of Oedo Tai came up to challenge Kaicho to a tag team match in the future. After Mirai's match against Suzu Suzuki, a backstage video was shown where World of Stardom Champion Syuri got attacked by Prominence's bodyguard Hiragi Kurumi. The show concluded with Giulia defeating rookie Miyu Amasaki in a singles match as the result of the main event.[7][8]
