Turner has been pretty brash since arriving in NXT UK with her claims to be 4D. She claimed Satomura couldn\u2019t teach the women on the NXT UK roster anything to get them to her level. The futuristic Turner went one further and said Satomura couldn\u2019t even beat her.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Satomura showed little fear during this interaction in the Performance Center.
