Satomura signed with WWE last fall, making her NXT UK debut this past February.
Since making her debut, Satomura has spent time in both the UK and Japan, she continues to run her ‘Sendai Girls Pro Wrestling’ promotion
During a recent interview with Tokyo Sports, Satomura revealed that she would be moving to the United Kingdom.
“I will be based in the UK after the big match in Niigata on June 27. If I do not move, I will not be recognized by British fans. I think it’s a belt that you can’t get without that much preparedness.”
