By Mike Johnson on 2021-01-28 15:16:00

WWE announced this afternoon that Japanese star Meiko Satomura is coming to NXT UK to challenge Women's Champion Kay Lee Ray:

Yahoo Japan reported this morning that Satomura has signed with WWE as both a wrestler and a Coach and will be based out of London.

Back in October, it was announced that Satomura would be limiting her appearances for her Sendai Girls promotion in order to work for WWE in London.  Satomura participated in the second Mae Young Classic in 2018. She defeated Killer Kelly, Mercedes Martinez and Lacey Lane before losing the eventual tournament winner Toni Storm in the semifinal.

Satomura has also competed for companies such as PROGRESS Wrestling, Pro-Wrestling: EVE and Fight Club: PRO in England.
