Stardom New Blood
Stardom New Blood (スターダムニューブラッド, Sutādamunyūburaddo) is a series of professional wrestling events promoted by the Japanese professional wrestling promotion World Wonder Ring Stardom. They have been held since 2022 and had become a developmental sub-brand of the promotion, which mainly focus on matches where rookie wrestlers, usually with three or less years of in-ring experience, evolve. Besides wrestlers from Stardom, various talent 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.[1]
