Charli Evans has been one of the world’s most travelled wrestlers for the past decade. Evans has always been vocal about her love of Japan, recently listing a return to the country with Medusa Complex compatriot Millie McKenzie on her list of goals for 2025. The two were a part of the Sendai Girls promotion early in their respective careers, and as Evans details in a recent chat with Love Wrestling, a large part of that was due to wrestling legend and Sendai Girls promoter Meiko Satomura’s influence.
Evans recently joined Love Wrestling to discuss her work with Sendai Girls, and Satomura’s impact on her career trajectory.
“I met Meiko when I first moved to Japan,” stated Evans. “She came and did a King of Trios that was actually in the UK. [So], when I first moved to England, sorry. She was the one that invited me out to Sendai Girls.”
“Japan was always a massive goal for me,” Evans continued. “To have Meiko Satomura be like ‘Oh, would you like to….’ ‘Uhh, yes. I would. I would love that.’ She was so good to Millie [McKenzie] and I when we first went to Sendai, and gave us all these opportunities.
“I really credit her so much, because I feel around that time, the 2019 time, was when I kind of was starting to figure it out, and be like ‘okay, this is who I want to be as a wrestler.’ I attribute a lot of that to Sendai girls and Meiko.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Evans chatted about working with the aforementioned Millie McKenzie in Medusa Complex, and her goals for the team in 2025.
