Kenta Kobashi discusses Meiko Satomura competing at Fortune Dream 9.
Meiko Satomura will compete at Fortune Dream 9, teaming with Takumi Iroha to take on Team 200kg's Chihiro Hashimoto and Yuu. The event is being put on by Kenta Kobashi.
Speaking to Tokyo Sports (via MeraWrestling), Kobashi revealed that Satomura got WWE permission to compete at the event.
"She is the person who is the most important point of this card. Since she has signed a contract with WWE, it was originally difficult for her to participate. However, under such circumstances, she directly appealed to me, saying, 'I want to appear in Fortune Dream.' She said she really wanted to appear. WWE also understood that enthusiasm and gave her the OK. I was glad. I thought that they could relate to her enthusiasm. I want people to never give up, even when things get tough. I want people to feel the spirit of never giving up from Satomura-san," he said.
Satomura has not competed on WWE television since losing to Roxanne Perez at NXT Roadblock 2023, but is still signed to the company.
Fortune Dream 9 takes place on June 12.
