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 slowly became 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.

Championships

edit

Due to being a separate brand, New Blood disposes its own set of championships which are mainly defended in the flagship events. The Future of Stardom Championship was activating in the main roster before New Blood's debut but slowly became a developmental title for the new sub-brand.
