#7 Meiko Satomura vs. Killer Kelly (Mae Young Classic, September 5th)
It wouldn't be a "year of the woman" without the presence of Meiko Satomura. One of the best wrestlers in the world of either gender, Satomura is a living legend of women's wrestling, and it was finally time for her to make her WWE debut after 23 years in the business.
What a debut it was!
She took to the ring against NXT UK competitor Killer Kelly, and they put on a clinic on the Mae Young Classic's first night. For a long time, Kelly looked like she would believably take the legend out of the game in what would have been a stunning first round upset.
Meiko Satomura preserved, however, and with incredibly powerful looking offense, put Kelly away.
It was the kind of match that gave both women status boosts. Satomura would go on to be the MVP of the entire tournament, highlighted by a match better still.
