To be filed under "Well, duh," the discourse suggests that Meiko Satomura is effectively with WWE already. She's still working a thorough schedule, for Sendai Girls and (WWE-affiliated) PROGRESS, but WWE appears to have a different plan bubbling: Satomura was named in insider circles as the pull for female talent ahead of the formation of NXT Japan, and has reportedly been part of the coaching staff for some time.

Get her on television.

She would instantly become one of the best performers in an already-loaded NXT Women's division. She is a master - so much so that NXT fans inferred her vast brilliance in what were effectively cold outings in last year's Mae Young Classic tournament. A veteran presence in what is, again, a very millennial NXT roster, she could legitimise many of the talents orbiting the title picture in addition to bringing along the undercard, PC-honed talents that don't seem to be coming along without someone of her talents to guide them.

She could slot into a short-term title programme - something guaranteed to be great when the longer-term prospects require protection away from the stakes of the picture.

You've got her.

Use her.
