On September 23, AEW announced that former Dallas Mavericks draft pick Satnam Singh had signed with the company.
Singh was the first-ever player from India to be drafted in the NBA. He was drafted 52nd overall by the Dallas Mavericks in 2015. Though he hasn't made his television debut yet, Singh has been working with QT Marshall at the Nightmare Factory.
Speaking to Graham GSM Matthews, Marshall discussed how Singh's training is going.
“It’s going very good,” Marshall said about his training so far. “He started maybe four weeks ago and we’re in our fourth week of our 12-week camp that we do. He kind of integrated in with some our brand-new students and we also have some advanced guys and girls that come in. We try to accept everybody and that’s because everyone has different goals. There are some people like I said that are more advanced and we try to get him in there with some of those guys as well as myself and our assistant coaches. But he’s a pleasure to be around. He’s also getting paid to train and he’s the one rooting everyone on.
"Cody is there, and when Cody’s there, he does a lot of the promo aspect of it. That’s going to be the key. In pro wrestling, if you can’t speak or if you can’t connect with an audience, it’s very difficult. He’s been working with him a lot on that. When it comes to the physical stuff, I’m more of the in-ring guy, and Cody has definitely tried to take him under his wing on the promo aspect.”
It is unknown when Singh will make his television debut for AEW.
Speaking to Sportskeeda in October, Singh discussed his transition from the NBA to wrestling. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
