These Brilliant AEW Success Stories Should Have SUCKED

7. Satnam Singh

Jeff Jarrett raged for the AEW camera operator to "SLOW PAN" upwards when filming ex-NBA player Satnam Singh during his first appearance alongside him, not-that-tacitly implying that maybe the the company hadn't done the best job of highlighting just how big the newest big man was.

Months on from that, he's slotted in quite nicely as a heater for Jarrett and partner Jay Lethal, and it looks to be the spot that will hopefully be the making of the unrefined monster.

Singh shows fabulous poise in the ring for a man of his relative inexperience, but there are few positions more robust than being ringside to watch one of the all-time masters of crowd psychology. Literally so, based on his most memorable moment in the company so far; no-selling a killer Darby Allin dive was one of the coolest spots of 2022. And with just 20 matches contested since his debut, AEW seem in no rush to burn through the best of 'One In A Billion'.
