Stardom New Blood 23 (スターダム ニュー ブラッド 23, Sutādamu nyū Buraddo 23) was a professional wrestling event promoted by World Wonder Ring Stardom. The event took place on July 4, 2025, in Tokyo, Japan at the Tokyo Square.[2]
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]
Event
The entire event was broadcast live on Stardom's YouTube channel. It started with the singles confrontation between Ema Maishima and Rina which ended with a referee stoppage victory for Maishima after Rina got concussed mid-match. Next up, Kiyoka Kotatsu picked up a victory over Kikyo Furusawa in another singles bout. The third match saw Rian and Honoka defeat Saran and Asuka Goda in tag team competition. In the semi main event, Hina, Lady C and Ranna Yagami picked up a victory over Aya Sakura, Sayaka Kurara and Akira Kurogane in six-woman tag team competition.[5]
In the main event, Waka Tsukiyama and Hanako defeated Momo Kohgo and Yuria Hime to secure the fourth consecutive defense of the New Blood Tag Team Championship in that respective reign.[6]
