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.[2] The current champions are wing★gori (Saya Iida and Hanan), who are in their first reign as a team.

Title history[edit]

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.[3] On January 20, at New Blood 7, an eight-team tournament to crown the inaugural champions has begun.[4] 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.[5] Following the match, Karma and Starlight Kid declared they would adopt the team name Bloody Fate.[6]
