Tozawa teaming with Satomura at Fight Club: PRO’s Project Tokyo
Akira Tozawa will be teaming with Meiko Satomura at Fight Club: PRO’s show in Tokyo, Japan.
It was announced today that Tozawa & Satomura will face CCK (Chris Brookes & Kid Lykos) at the show, which is named “Project Tokyo” and will take place at Korakuen Hall on January 7, 2019. This is the first event that the British-based promotion has held in Japan.
Earlier this month, it was revealed that Tozawa — who is under contract with WWE and part of the cruiserweight division on 205 Live — would be wrestling at Project Tokyo. There had been NXT UK wrestlers pulled from the show, with Project Tokyo taking place in the days before NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool is held on January 12.
Satomura is the Fight Club: PRO Champion and is a founder of the Sendai Girls promotion in Japan. She made appearances for WWE in this year’s Mae Young Classic, making it to the semifinals before losing to Toni Storm.
