Event

The "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]

The show featured a total of six 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 press conference for the event was held on April 20, 2022 and was broadcast on Stardom's YouTube channel.[5] The entire event was broadcast on Stardom's YouTube channel.[6]

Storylines

In the preshow, Gatoh Move Pro Wrestling's Yuna Mizumori picked up a victory against Queen's Quest's Lady C. The next match saw Stars member Hanan teaming up with Queen's Quest's Hina and going into a time-limit draw against JTO's Tomoka Inaba & Aoi. After the match, Aoi issued a challenge for Hanan's Future of Stardom Championship. After Rina Amikura & Yuko Sakurai picked up a victory over Saya Iida & Momo Kohgo, Tam Nakano rushed into the ring to confront Amikura, Sakurai & Saki who accompanied the latter ringside. On June 5, 2022, Cosmic Angels were set to collide with Color's, with the loser unit being forced to join the enemy unit. After Suzu Suzuki defeated Mai Sakurai, she aimed for an attack upon Donna Del Mondo's leader Giulia with whom she has been in a distant feud. Risa Sera & Hiragi Kurumi of Prominence joined Suzuki to attack Giulia. Shortly after that, Syuri rushed to the ring to confront Sera ahead of their World of Stardom Championship match from Stardom Flashing Champions on May 28, 2022. During Giulia and Suzuki's confrontation, Waka Tsukiyama stepped up to challenge Prominence to a Six-Woman Tag Team Match on May 28. A short backstage segment portrayed Rossy Ogawa handing Miyu Amasaki a portrait of Kairi. It was revealed that Amasaki would team up with Utami Hayashishita against Tam Nakano & Kairi at Flashing Champions.[7][8]
