Former 7′ 2″ basketball player Satnam Singh debuted for AEW in April 2022, immediately making an impact by attacking Samoa Joe. And while it initially looked like he could be a new main event heel, much like Paul Wight was in WCW and The Great Khali in WWE, AEW has seemingly decided to take his development more slowly, having him mainly feature in tag team matches alongside either Jay Lethal and Jeff Jarrett.
However, after he just wrestled in the main event of AAA’s TripleMania XXXII: Tijuana show earlier this month, it now appears his future could be away from the ring and behind the microphone. This is because AEW’s official roster page now has him pictured wearing a suit and listed as a part of the broadcast team between Renee Paquette and Taz.
28-year-old Singh was born in Punjab, India, and due to his size and basketball ability, he moved to the US in 2010 in an attempt to become an NBA star. Subsequently, he would become the first Indian-born player ever drafted, with the Dallas Mavericks picking him as the 52nd overall pick in 2015. His story would later become the subject of a Netflix documentary called “One in a Billion,” helping establish him to a worldwide audience.
