Satomura is one of the most accomplished Japanse wrestlers in the world. She has recently starred in Sendai Girls’ Pro Wrestling, but she has won world titles with Progress Wrestling, Fight Club: PRO, Gaea Japan, and World Wonder Ring Stardom. She previously wrestled for WWE in the 2018 Mae Young Classic, and she lost to Toni Storm in the semifinals.
As a 41-year-old, Satomura has plenty of experience in the wrestling business, so she’s set to become one of NXT UK’s veteran competitors.
