Some of the competitors did not fit the "New Blood" tournaments, but in the case of wrestlers like Cancerbero and Raziel, the ring persona he portrayed had only been used for around 2 years, making the character a rookie, but not the man under the mask.

[6][7] Lee immediately accepted Tormenta's offer and received his new mask to officially become the second incarnation of Místico, taking over the highly successful role following the character's original performer, who had signed with WWE in January 2011.

[11] Titán would later defeat En Busca de un Ídolo rival Pólvora to win the Mexican National Welterweight Championship[12] Cholo, Bobby Zavala, Soberano Jr., Camaleón, Stigma, Robin, Disturbio and Super Halcón Jr. would all compete in the subsequent Torneo Sangre Nueva in 2013.

The first match took place on February 26, 2013, in Arena Mexico and saw Soberano Jr. (son of CMLL wrestler Euforia) outlast Camaleón, Stigma, Höruz, Hombre Bala Jr., Akuma, Espanto Jr., Herodes Jr., Cholo and Bobby Zavala to qualify for the finals.

[14] Block B competed on March 5, 2013, for the other finalist spot, with a field that included Genesis, Oro Jr., Robin, Sensei, Super Halcón Jr., Disturbio, Guerrero Negro Jr., Inquisidor, Taurus and Zayco.

As with the 2012 Torneo Sangre Nueva, not everyone competing in the tournament fit the "new blood" description; Sensei had worked for CMLL under that ring persona since 2005 and been a professional wrestler even longer.
