WWE Superstar makes a surprise challenge to Bayley before SummerSlam, wants the Women's Championship
Bayley has been challenged to a match by WWE veteran and professional wrestling legend, Meiko Satomura.
In 2018, WWE announced Satomura's entry into the second edition of the Mae Young Classic tournament. She went all the way to the semifinals before being defeated by Toni Storm. During her time in the company, Satomura also competed in NXT UK where she was the final NXT UK Women's Champion. Her title reign was ended by Mandy Rose, who unified the NXT UK Women's Championship and the NXT Women's Championship.
During the WWE live event in Tokyo, Japan, Satomura challenged Bayley to a match for the WWE Women's Championship. The Role Model was already scheduled to defend the title at the upcoming SummerSlam Premium Live Event.

Dutch Mantell was impressed with the build-up to Bayley vs. Nia Jax for SummerSlam
Bayley and Nia Jax are set for a huge showdown at the upcoming SummerSlam Premium Live Event. On a recent edition of WWE SmackDown, the two Superstars were involved in a split-screen confrontation.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk, Dutch Mantell claimed that he was impressed with the build-up to the match. He also praised the creative team for addressing Jax and Bayley's brief history. He said:
"You know what I like about that because that's what the internet said about her. She is big, she is strong, she is dangerous. Once you repeated it back to her, people said, 'Oh, now she is being told.' So they know she is being told that. I would actually like to see that match for SummerSlam."
At WrestleMania XL, Bayley won the title by defeating IYO SKY. Her latest title defense was against Piper Niven, whom she defeated at the Clash at the Castle: Scotland Premium Live Event.
A victory for Meiko Satomura in Japan would change the entire scenario at SummerSlam, as it would lead to a match between her and Jax.
