Satnam Singh is the first-ever NBA-drafted player from India. Samoa Joe faced the ROH TV World Champion Minoru Suzuki in the main event of AEW Dynamite this week. This was for Suzuki’s Title. In a compelling match, Joe picked up the win after delivering a Muscle Buster. This was Joe’s first title since signing for AEW.

Last week, Jay Lethal and Sonjay Dutt told Joe that they will bring a surprise for him. The surprise wasn’t pleasant for The Destroyer. The giant Satnam Singh took out Joe after the match ended. Lethal and Dutt also joined in the beatdown.

The segment wasn’t received too well by the fans as they felt it dampened the otherwise spectacular show. Overall, the show saw CM Punk, Chris Jericho, and many other top superstars in action. Here are a few tweets from the fans regarding their opinion on Singh’s AEW debut:

The worst reveal in wrestling history 😒 #AEWDynamite #SatnamSingh pic.twitter.com/4NKtjfulNZ

Satnam Singh may go on to become the greatest wrestler in the history of the sport, however that was hot garbage. The whole Lethal / Dutt act is dreadful. Shame, as it was a great episode.

Boy they were really hoping that Satnam Singh debut was going to be something people were hyped for, huh. Just felt very Butcher/Blade/Bunny levels of hoping the crowd knew who it was from the start.

More on Satnam Singh

Satnam Singh was selected by the Dallas Mavericks back in the 2015 NBA draft. He stands at 7 feet 2 inches and weighs about 290 pounds.

He played the center position. The 26-year-old was born in Baloke, Punjab, India. Singh played for the Indian National under-16 basketball team at the 2009 FIBA Asia Under-16 Championship in Malaysia.

Satnam debuted for the senior Indian National team at the 2011 FIBA Asia Championship in Wuhan, China where he averaged 2.5 points and 2.8 rebounds per game.

In 2017, he had a workout at the WWE Performance Center before being signed up by AEW on September 23, 2021.

After receiving massive heat on his first AEW TV appearance, some wrestling fans have come out in support of the youngster. They were willing to give more time to Satnam Singh to hone his skills and showcase his talent in AEW.

I can trust that AEW can do the right thing with Satnam Singh. AEW has yet to do a Omos or Big Show type giant wrestler and I can trust that they can do it better than WWE can. A debut doesn't make a wrestler. #AEWDynamite

I don’t know much about Satnam Singh. Maybe his debut wasn’t the best. But give him a chance. I see a lot of very off color comments about him. 😞 #aew #AEWDynamite

The way I see it, #AEW could use more big men on the roster anyways so people could stop BITCHING about the company having too many "vanilla midgets" in it.

Satnam Singh could add the BALANCE that it needs.#AEWDynamite

Surely we will see a Samoa Joe versus Satnam Singh match down the line. Being in the ring with the veteran Joe will certainly help the big man early on in his wrestling career.
