Rian and Kian Furusawa Win the NEW BLOOD Tag Titles

Kian Furusawa and Rian are the new NEW BLOOD Tag Team Champions. The Meni☆Mani pair beat Aya Sakura and Sayaka Kurara at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo on Tuesday, with Rian forcing the finish with a Hanaguruma at 16:32. The loss ended the champions' reign in their third defense and made the challengers the sixth champions in the title's history.

The match arrived two months late. It was first set for STARDOM's August 23 show at Ryogoku, then called off because Rian was out. The road back to it ran through Korakuen Hall on October 11, when Sakura faced Furusawa and Rian alone in a handicap match. The challengers dragged Kurara, injured and at ringside in Sakura's corner, into the ring and attacked her as well, and the plan backfired. Kurara fought back, Sakura beat Furusawa with her New Sakuracchi, and Sakura then accepted Meni☆Mani's challenge for the belts.
