Tokyo Sports is reporting that Japanese wrestling legend
Meiko Satomura will be retiring from her active wrestling
career and will have her final match next year in the
Spring.

The 44-year-old Satomura is currently under contract with
WWE but has rarely appeared since NXT UK closed its doors.
She is wrestling with the company as part of the three-day
tour in Japan this weekend.

A formal announcement of her retirement is forthcoming and
her last match might coincide with the 30th’s anniversary of
her wrestling debut in April.

Satomura will be wrestling Bayley for the WWE Women’s
championship tomorrow night in Tokyo in the last leg of the
tour, with Bayley writing that it will be an “absolute
honor” to wrestle her.

“Feels like I’m having a WrestleMania match 1 week before
SummerSlam,” Bayley wrote on X.
