It was reported in October 2020 by Tokyo Sports that Satomura was expected to join NXT UK, but nothing had been made official.
During a press conference before the Sendai Girls Miyagino Ward Cultural Center show in October, Satomura said, “I can’t tell anything at the moment.” She announced during the press conference that she will limit her participation in future Sendai Girls events, saying that this decision was “to move on to a next stage in life” and “I’m thinking of making a big bet, but I’ll talk to you all again when I have more details.”
Satomura competed in the 2018 Mae Young Classic and served as a guest coach at the WWE Performance Center in 2018 as well.
