New Blood Tag Team Championship

The New Blood Tag Team Championship (ニュー・ブラッド・タッグ王座, Nyū Buraddo Taggu Ōza) is a women's professional wrestling tag team championship owned by the World Wonder Ring Stardom promotion and acts as a developmental championship in the "New Blood" branch of events.[1] The current champions are H.A.T.E. (Rina and Azusa Inaba), who are in their first reign as a team. They defeated previous champions wing★gori (Saya Iida and Hanan) at Stardom Nighter in Korakuen II on July 23, 2024, in Tokyo, Japan.

Title history

Despite first being mentioned in December 2022, the official design of the titles was revealed on March 7, 2023, during a press conference. They are inspired by the designs of New Japan Pro Wrestling's Strong Openweight Tag Team Championship, having the front larger plate and straps identically with them.[2] On January 20, at New Blood 7, an eight-team tournament to crown the inaugural champions has begun.[3] At New Blood Premium on March 25, Oedo Tai (Karma and Starlight Kid) defeated God's Eye (Mirai and Tomoka Inaba) in the tournament finals to become the first titleholders.[4] Following the match, Karma and Starlight Kid declared they would adopt the team name Bloody Fate.[5]

Inaugural tournament

The first defense of the title was Bloody Fate's successful defense against the team of Hanako and Lady C on May 12, 2023, during New Blood 8.[6]
