Tam Nakano vs. Tam Nakano Set For STARDOM NEW BLOOD 8 Main Event
Tam Nakano vs. Tam Nakano has been made official for NEW BLOOD 8.
Tam Nakano is taking on… Tam Nakano?
STARDOM held a press conference on Tuesday morning to reveal the full card for NEW BLOOD 8. Among the matches added, fans will see Suzu Suzuki make her first appearance for STARDOM since leaving PROMINENCE as she will team with Mei Seira against the duo of Mai Sakurai and Chanyota as well as Tomoka Inaba team up with her sister Azusa Inaba to take on the sister duo of Hanan and Hina.
There will also be two title matches set for the show as Ami Sourei defends the Future of Stardom Championship against Rina and 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 looked like the press conference would be over, STARDOM announced that the main event for the show would be the new World of Stardom Champion, Tam Nakano, going one-on-one with Tam Nakano.

The second is none other than former Ice Ribbon wrestler Nao Ishikawa, who announced her exit from the promotion earlier this year. Ishikawa impersonated Nakano move for move until the Cosmic Angels dance routine, which she did not know.
