"What a surprise to be able to watch the full match‼️ Bayley vs Meiko Satomura. Don't miss this match✅," Satomura wrote.

"Let’s have a match on a PLE next," she wrote.
The veteran will be defending her WWE Women's Championship against Nia Jax tomorrow night at SummerSlam. The Irresistible Force earned the title shot by winning the Queen of the Ring tournament earlier this year. Meiko Satomura recently announced that she will be retiring from wrestling in April 2025.
Bayley claims the Women's Tag Team Championship needs more attention in WWE
SmackDown star Bayley recently shared her thoughts on how the Women's Tag Team Championship has been booked as of late and the possibility of adding a midcard title to the division.
Speaking on Booker T's Hall of Fame podcast, the 35-year-old noted that the promotion had introduced the Women's North American Championship in NXT and would like to have something similar on the main roster. Bayley stated that the Women's Tag Team Championship needed "a little more TLC" to help the division grow.
"And I just feel like they need a little more TLC (tender loving care), a little more love because so many women have been able to hold them but we haven't been able to like have that match yet where it's like 'Okay, we solidified the women's tag team division, now it's bringing in another one.' But when that happens, I believe it will, I know that it's going to help a lot of other women shine." [2:57-3:53]
