It caps off an amazing year for Meiko Satomura, the co-founder of joshi promotion Sendai Girls, that has seen her capture the Fight Club: PRO Championship in the UK and the KO-D Openweight Championship with Japan’s Dramatic Dream Team (DDT) Pro and have some of the best matches of the 2018 WWE Mae Young Classic, including an absolute clinic against Mercedes Martinez last week.

Thank you very much.
I won the tournament.
I had three matches today day. I wanted to give up, but I endured and pushed through.
A strong heart is necessary.
Fans, thank you for your support. #wXwFemmesFatales #wXwWTTL #仙女#wXwFemmesFatles #ドイツ pic.twitter.com/p4K8LAENFX
