Tam Nakano has a challenger in Tam Nakano?
On Tuesday morning, STARDOM held a press conference to present the full lineup for NEW BLOOD 8. Suzu Suzuki will make her debut appearance for STARDOM since leaving PROMINENCE, teaming up with Mei Seira against the duo of Mai Sakurai and Chanyota, and Tomoka Inaba will join up with her sister Azusa Inaba to face the sister combo of Hanan and Hina.
Here’s a look at the full card:
- Tam Nakano vs. Tam Nakano (Nao Ishikawa)
- NEW BLOOD Tag: Starlight Kid & KARMA (c) vs. Lady C & HANAKO
- Future of Stardom Championship: Ami Sourei (c) vs. Rina
- Miyu Amasaki vs. Momo Watanabe
- Nanae Takahashi vs. Ruaka in a Passion Injection Match
- Mai Sakurai & Chanyota vs. Suzu Suzuki & Mei Seira
- Hanan & Hina vs. Tomoka Inaba & Azusa Inaba
- Waka Tsukiyama vs. Aya Sakura
Ami Sourei will defend the Future of Stardom Championship against Rina, while the tag team of Starlight Kid and KARMA will defend their NEW BLOOD Tag Team Championship for the first time against Lady C and HANAKO.
When it appeared that the press conference was coming to an end, STARDOM announced that the main event for the night would be Tam Nakano, the new World of Stardom Champion, going one-on-one with Tam Nakano.
The second is none other than Nao Ishikawa, a former Ice Ribbon wrestler who announced her departure from the promotion earlier this year. Ishikawa impersonated Nakano down to the Cosmic Angels dance routine, which she was clueless of.
This will be Ishikawa’s inaugural STARDOM bout after departing Ice Ribbon.
