Satomura, who is still under a WWE contract, has not wrestled for the company since March 7, 2023, losing to Roxanne Perez in a title match at NXT Roadblock. She was previously part of the NXT UK roster before NXT UK was closed down. The former NXT UK Women's champion will be teaming up with Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair to take on Dakota Kai, Iyo Sky, and Kairi Sane in six-woman tag team matches. The WWE tour in Japan kicks off on July 25 with a show in Osaka and then two back-to-back shows in Tokyo on July 26 and 27. GREAT AMERICAN BASH EXPANDED TO TWO NIGHTS- The Great American Bash will be a two-night affair on USA Network, with WWE announcing last night that both nights will air on SyFy. Originally scheduled for August 6 only, The Great American Bash will now start a week before on July 30. With USA Network showing coverage of the 2024 Olympics, both nights will be on SyFy instead. The 2020 and 2021 episodes of NXT's version of the GAB were two nights, but then they went back to one night in 2022 and last year. Last year's show was actually a premium live event from the H-E-B Center in Cedar Park, Texas. PEREZ VS HAIL OFFICIAL FOR GAB- The first match for The Great American Bash NXT special was announced last night with NXT Women's champion Roxanne Perez taking on Thea Hail. It is currently unknown on which night this match will air since the GAB is now over two nights, on July 30 and August 6. During their in-ring segment, the champion said that she's competing with the ones in the history books rather than those in the current NXT locker room, namedropping Charlotte Flair. Perez said that Flair made her first televised appearance 13 years ago and is now a 14-time champion and she will go on to break all her records. Flair responded to Perez, telling she almost got it right since it's been 11 years, and not 13. "Keep doing your thing. We will meet in the ring one day¡ªI¡¯m sure of it," Flair wrote. ======================================================== ADVERTISING: (C) Copyright 1996-2024 Wrestling-Online.com ======================================================== |
