A WWE legend recently took to social media to send a message to Cody Rhodes after announcing her retirement from professional wrestling. The name in question is Meiko Satomura.
Satomura signed a contract with World Wrestling Entertainment in 2020 and started performing for the company's developmental territory in the United Kingdom, where she won the NXT UK Women's Championship. She also took on the responsibility of coaching the younger talent on the white and gold brand. Although the legend has not been seen on the Stamford-based promotion's television for quite some time, many reports suggest that she is still signed with the company as a coach.
