Background
"New Blood" is a series of events that mainly focus on matches where rookie wrestlers, usually with three or fewer 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 professional wrestling matches that result from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portray villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.[4]

The entire event was broadcast live on Stardom's YouTube channel. It started with the singles confrontation between Anne Kanaya and Rina, solded with the victory of the latter. Next up, Tomoka Inaba and Akira Kurogane picked up a victory over Sayaka Kurara and Yuria Hime in tag team competition. The third bout saw Goddesses of Stardom Champions Hanan and Saya Iida outmatch Kaori Yoneyama and Rian.
