WWE Rumors: Japanese Star Possibly Participating In Mae Young Classic

With the WWE Universe squarely setting their sights on all the action this weekend in Rosemont, Illinois at the Allstate Arena for NXT TakeOver: Chicago II and Money In The Bank, there’s also the United Kingdom Championship Tournament next Monday and Tuesday from the famed Royal Albert Hall in London, England.

Following the United Kingdom Championship Tournament, the next special on the WWE Network is expected to be the second annual installment of the Mae Young Classic after the first took place last July, later airing in August and September. While no specific details on the tournament have been made official as of yet, it’s believed that the tournament will once again be taped at Full Sail University some time in June.

We also don’t yet know who will be joining this year’s field for the Mae Young Classic, however TokyoSports is reporting that Japanese star Meiko Satomura could be joining in. It was also noted that TokyoSports reached out to Satomura for comment, but she reiterated that nothing’s official yet.

Meiko Satomura is a 38-year old, 22-year veteran who has competed for the likes of Gaea Japan, Chikara and Sendai Girls’ Pro Wrestling. She also made appearances for World Championship Wrestling in 1996-97 when Gaea had a working relationship with the company. Among her accolades are two-time AAAW Singles Champion (Gaea), one-time Sendai Girls’ World Champion, as well as a winner of Chikara’s King Of Trios Tournament in 2016.
