[2018-10-03-WWE-Mae Young Classic] Meiko Satomura vs Mercedes Martinez

[cactus]

Holy hell, this one surprised me. Both women made me a fan during this match. They start out with some slick matwork and there's a big struggle to get a front facelock locked in. Martinez gets frustrated and slaps Meiko hard! Meiko returns the favor by laying in some disgustingly stiff kicks right to the tits. Martinez was fantastic at being the heel bully, but I also admired Meiko for managing to still feel like a babyface while dishing out some seriously nasty offense. Meiko countering Martinez's escapes from her Fujiwara armbar by rolling into a different position was an incredible moment that felt very natural and realistic. People need to check this out. It's a serious contender to one of the best women's matches to take place in a WWE ring. ★★★★¼
