Former basketball player Satnam Singh made his debut on AEW Dynamite last week. He came out and attacked Samoa Joe, as he was presented as a monster of a man. Singh also joined AEW for an interesting reason.

The debut ended up receiving mixed opinions from fans and peers alike. He has already been compared to former WWE Superstar The Great Khali in many ways.

While speaking to Ruby Arora, Satnam signed and talked about his decision to join AEW instead of WWE. Singh said that he joined AEW so that he could create history.

“The only regret I have is if I could’ve understood that I could’ve been a wrestler before, I think I would have been a better wrestler in the world. When the opportunity came up about 4 to 5 years ago if I would’ve said yes, I would be A big, huge, giant wrestler.

I had given trials for WWE as well, and I liked it very much as well. I liked AEW as well. AEW is like brand new, it’s only been a couple of years, and it’s really fire. I thought that if I go to AEW, I would be the first again. The first wrestler from India. I will make [more] history for India in AEW. If I go to WWE, that would be amazing, but amazing why? Because they already have Indian people over there. They have the Indian wrestler. Why don’t I go start there, where they have no Indian guys, and create history again after reaching there. Not for me, for the Indian wrestlers, for everyone.”

Satnam Singh’s AEW debut was compared to the infamous Katie Vick segment as well. We will have to wait and see how Satnam Singh will be booked in the coming weeks on AEW television.
