New Blood Wrestling

[MTK36]

In life, karma has a funny way of turning things right back at you.

For too long, we have waited in the shadows.

For too long, we have been patient.

We have been fed this crap about WWE this, AEW that, NJPW this, and more.

We are done playing with the big boys.

We are done sharing the table.

We are not looking for number 1. We are here to make a statement.

What we have is REAL.

Here, we have nothing to fear, nothing to hide, and most of all, NOTHING to lose.

We aren't controlling the narrative, we are CREATING it.

We are the authors of our fate.

WE

ARE

NEW

BLOOD

WRESTLING!

Long live the new flesh!​

Origin of the name:
It's pretty simple: The term "New Blood" means that they are the new kids on the block. Their intention is striving to be the top independent wrestling promotion, as long as they form bonds with anyone they can find.

Who are the owners?:
Currently unknown, but they happen to be known as very knowledgeable in the wrestling industry. Rumors are circulating that it could be Jim Cornette as a member of said group.

Do they have a TV deal?
Yes, and it's a doozy. NBW has signed a deal with Netflix to air their weekly shows. However, their "mega events" will be broadcasted on pay per view.

The Ground Rules:
1. Roster Limits are in play to ensure everyone gets some form of screen time. A wrestler needs to be released from his/her contract in order to make room for another person to be a part of the roster.
2. Outside Interference is not allowed at all times. To ensure this, VAR will be implemented and all wrestlers are prohibited from having any contact with the referees who are stationed there.
3. NBW is free to go into negotiations with wrestlers contracted to other organizations, but it is up to them whether to opt our of their current contracts or not.

The Roster:
To be announced VERY SOON.​

Back in November 2023, a new independent promotion called appropriately, New Blood Wrestling, was announced.

With a rumored deal on Netflix and mystery behind the ownership group founding this, it had wrestling fans excited.....for all of five minutes.

Between the secrecy of the ownership and the ambitiousness of trying to get on a popular streaming platform like Netflix, fans were not buying it and dismissed it as fake news. The plans were later dropped, and Netflix later agreed to a deal with WWE.

The planned promotion was seen as an "urban legend" across various wrestling circles. Fans were intrigued about who the mystery people behind it were, and why they decided to walk away.

However, following Wrestlemania 41, rumors on the promotion's existence began to circulate once more.

"New Blood Wrestling", "NBW", "NBW Desire", and "NBW World Championship" were registered as trademarks, a deal with CBS to bring wrestling to the network for the first time was agreed, and most importantly, the founding figures were no longer a mystery.

Thanks to various wrestling insiders, Mark Cuban was revealed to be the company's financier and CEO, while Mick Foley was revealed to be the company's head booker and Director of Wrestling Operations. Other staff hires were announced, as well as an introductory press conference which was taking place on May 28.

Recent WWE releases were linked to the fledgling promotion, although the first show will take place after certain non-compete clauses have expirde.

Wrestling insiders describe this new promotion as a "gateway to the future of the wrestling industry."

What has changed from 2023's proposal?

A key aspect of the 2023 proposal was that the roster was intentionally going to be limited in order to end concerns about certain wrestlers not getting enough screentime. This was removed in order for future contracted wrestlers to be able to work other promotions.

Do they have a TV deal?

Yes. CBS Sports has agreed to a deal to air NBW on Sunday nights. While this is seen as a risk, having to compete with AEW pay-per-view events, NBW founder Mark Cuban stated, "This venture means that Sunday can be considered a wrestling day once more.", making comparisons to the fact WWE was doing their big events on Saturdays.

When will the first show take place, and where?

August 10, 2025, from Dallas, Texas.​
