JPN
The tournament began with the right to challenge for the NEW BLOOD Tag Team Championship, held by Tsukiyama Waka & Hanako before the tournament. The first match of the first round pitted Cosmic Angels' "Sakuradamon" Mizumori Yuna & Sakura Aya against Yoneyama Kaori & Rian. Yoneyama and Rian, who hit it off at the previous NB, teamed up for the first time. Will Yoneyama's leadership, which is daring to challenge for the NB Tag Team Championship, lift Rian's spirits?
Sakura and Rian volunteered to be starters. Yoneyama sent them off with a "I'll leave it to you!" As the two explored each other, Yoneyama attacked Sakura and declared with Rian, "We're going to win!" However, Mizumori cut them off with a dropkick and combined their attacks on Rian. Mizumori followed with a crossbody and then a knee drop. Rian countered, Sakura applied a necklock, and Mizumori swung down a chopping motion. Mizumori then covered Rian repeatedly. Rinko goes in with a flurry of elbows, but Mizumori responds, saying, "Is that all?" Mizumori knocks her down with an elbow and goes for a body slam. Rinko blocks it and dodges a lariat and hits a crossbody. Yoneyama hits a lariat, which Mizumori dodges, and Sakura dodges as well. Mizumori and Sakura try to combine, but Yoneyama dropkicks Mizumori, then simultaneously hits a senton on Sakura, and then both hits a senton. Mizumori dodges Yoneyama's charge and hits a dropkick. Sakura hits Yoneyama with a thrust knee kick followed by a dropkick. Yoneyama hits a Mongolian chop. Sakura dodges a spinning punch but is hit with a dropkick. Rinko follows with a series of dropkicks. Sakura counters, then cuts off Rinko's stance and applies a body slam followed by a triangle choke. Yoneyama tries to make amends, but Mizumori throws her to the outside. Mizumori and Sakura launch a sandwich attack with strikes. Sakura goes to the corner and hits a knee attack. Rin dodges and, with assistance from Yoneyama, Rin hits a dropkick, body slam, and diving body attack. When Rin goes for a fisherman's, Sakura counters and jumps in for a triangle choke. Rin's foot somehow manages to reach the ropes. Rin dodges Sakura's high kick and rolls her up. Sakura counters and gets on top, but it's a two count. Rin goes for a roll-up, but Yoneyama assists with a round-round punch. Sakura counters the roll-up, but Yoneyama rolls her up again. Rin pins her, but Sakura manages to fight back just in time. Rin lands a series of elbows, and Sakura counters with a middle kick and a right high kick. The three count is reached, and Sakura pins Rin.
