According to Fightful Select, multiple talents in AEW did not think SatnamSingh’s debut was executed well. However, it was also said that many in the company believe that the business side of the decision was a good one.
It was said that one source indicated that if accelerating the growth of AEW in India, and that it would help their salary when it comes time for contract renewal negotiations, then they are “willing to accept a bad debut.” Fightful also noted that some talent said that it is important to remember that other talent opinions on various segments are subjective, and only reflect what other certain talents are saying, as opposed to how the general locker feels overall.
The report also notes that AEW sources who have trained with Singh or seen him train said that he has a good attitude and has genuine willingness to learn. Another source noted that Singh has been doing good in the ring thus far, and has been training every day for the past eight months. The same sources also said that Singh has “some tricks up his sleeve that will surprise some people.”
