Brand new NXT UK Women's Champion Meiko Satomura is an iconic female wrestler who shone in the Mae Young Classic. So when it was announced that she had signed with WWE and would be heading to NXT UK of all places, I was extremely excited at the possibility that I might be able to see her live but, of course, the pandemic happened.

But not even COVID could stop Satomura from ending Kay Lee Ray's historic NXT UK Women's Championship reign and becoming the third non-British person to hold the title out of the four champions that had ever done so.

On the most recent episode of NXT UK, Kay Lee Ray and Meiko Satomura clashed for the second time in the show's epic main event. Whilst Lee Ray had triumphed over Satomura the first time they met, she wasn't so lucky the second time around and Satomura became the first Japanese wrestler to win a title in NXT UK.
