NEW BLOOD Tag Team Champions Sakura Aya defeated her challengers before her third title defense. Teaming with Mizumori Yuna, she clashed with Furusawa Kian & Rian's "Meni☆Mani." She secured a direct three-count victory over Furusawa, gaining momentum for the decisive match
Sakura, teaming up with Sayaka Kurei as "Sakurara," is preparing for her third title defense against Meni☆Mani. In their final preliminary match, she showed the determination of a champion
Sakura, whose anger towards the challengers was building, showed no mercy from the start. She cornered Rian with her signature kicks, and Mizumori also attacked using her speed and power
Sakura escaped Furusawa's ankle hold and then executed a sandwich attack with Mizumori. She followed up with a leg lariat.
Meni☆Mani fought back with a combined stunner, but Sakura remained unfazed. She delivered a high kick to Furusawa and then immediately followed up with a spectacular German suplex to secure the three-count.
Her anger didn't subside even after the match. "Kian, this belt isn't a tool to make your unit official. There are far more important things than singing, dancing, and TikTok!" she yelled. She delivered harsh words to the challenger aiming for the belt.
Sakura is fully motivated for the title defense, which she will face together with the returning Kurei.
Sakura Aya:"We won the handicap match, and we won at Sakuradamon. The day after tomorrow, October 20th, we're in the main event at Korakuen Hall. The NEW BLOOD tag team is in the main event at Korakuen. I wonder if those two understand what that means? I have absolutely no intention of losing, and even though it's Kurei's comeback match, she's a former Red Champion. Sakura and I will absolutely not lose! But I was really happy to finally hear those two say things like, 'We're going to be the top of the young generation,' and express their fresh ambitions like that of young wrestlers."
Kian Furusawa: "Recently, there's been a lot of talk about our results and all sorts of things... I know Sakura and the others are strong, and I know we can't stay like this... In this final preliminary match, people might say we won't win again, but I want to take the NEW BLOOD belts with Rian and create a new era for young NEW BLOOD wrestlers. And with gratitude for the opportunity for NEW BLOOD to be able to perform in the main event at Korakuen Hall on the 20th, we absolutely want to take the belts."
Rian: "We still have weaknesses and we're inexperienced, but even so, we absolutely want to win the NEW BLOOD belts. Of course, getting it officially recognized is one of our goals, but we're going to wear the NEW BLOOD belts, create the era of Meni☆Mani, and become the center of the younger generation. On the 20th, Meni☆Mani will win the NEW BLOOD Tag Team Championship!"
