Wrestling Coverage Whatever #5: AEW booking of Satnam Singh

Article

The former NBA player Satnam Singh is All Elite. Here’s how I’d book him in order to create an instant star. Some of you will notice similarities to Impact Wrestling era EC3, and Goldberg’s run in WCW. Except with some important modifications.

His star won’t be the only one rising in the process. Satnam Singh will make appearances on Dynamite & Rampage but he will not wrestle. The first 6-8 months of his career will be spent being undefeated on Dark & Elevation.

Promo footage will be Satnam Singh & Tony Khan hanging out with Jacksonville Jaguars cheerleaders at clubs. Tony Khan will introduce him as his “lion” that’ll be enforcing Khan Family rules.

The first real feud going into the 3rd month of his undefeated streak will be Team Taz. After brutally embarrassing Brian Cage his former teammates come to his aid. Hobbs comes in, and gets cut down. Hook & Spears come in together but it’s more of the same.

Satnam Singh grabs a microphone, and challenges him to a championship match. Stating that he wants the FTW title to become the Dark Championship. Spears obviously accepts.

Satnam Singh won the championship. New promo footage is released. 3 mildly known actresses from Bollywood are sitting in his limousine with him. They’re laughing, and enjoying wine. The footage cuts to his passed destruction, and you hear a lions roar.

A logo appears that says “Khan Family Authority”, and then you see Tony Khan on the screen. “This is just a taste of what’s to come, and I’d like to issue a challenge to all promoters, and wrestlers. Send your best to face Satnam Singh for the Dark Championship. Court Bauer, Billy Corgan, Booker T, David Marquez, Savio Vega, and more. Everybody can get it. There isn’t a promoter on this Earth that can find a way to beat my lion!”

*the footage goes away, and the crowd is mixed but it leans negative*

Satnam Singh will continue to be seen with mildly known actresses from allover Indian cinema. Both on the TV shows, and AEW Dark. A different Indian actress is escorting him to the ring every week. This will help get the attention of Indian journalists, and fans on social media.

Hopefully, helping increase interest in the company over there.

It’s been 9 months, and his first real challenge has arrived. King Muertes aka Mil Muertes escorted to the ring by Salina de la Renta. This match would be a brutal back & forth ending by double countout. A frustrated Salina standing next to Muertes in the back is brought an envelope full of cash, and a note saying “Join us”.

It’s announced a day later that the Khan Family Authority has hired Salina de la Renta to represent talent for Tony Khan. King Muertes was also recruited to be Salina’s muscle. Helping Salina & Satnam in anyway possible.

Satnam Singh remains dominant on Dark & Elevation. Nobody’s really challenging him there. Calvin Tankman, Jacob Fatu, Alexander Hammerstone, Tomohiro Ishii, Niño Hamburguesa, Ace Romero, Brody King, The Fixers, and Sean Studd have come to Jacksonville.

Most of them give a solid 5 minutes in the ring before getting beat by Satnam Singh. But Jacob Fatu got disqualified after fifteen minutes but they kept going until security got called. Alexander Hammerstone lasted 20 minutes in the ring before getting pepper sprayed by Salina. Which gave Satnam Singh the victory.

Sean Studd, Brody King, and Calvin Tankman end up getting offered positions in the Khan Family Authority. All of them accept the offer. Tony said that he needs an army of big men to beat the scrawny elite. All factions are being put on notice right now.

With the realization that it’s the Khan Family Authority versus AEW. The Khan Family believes too much creative freedom was given. That’s why AEW isn’t getting three million viewers every week. So, they’re doing a hostile takeover to purge the opposition.

Alexander Hammerstone joins the Pinnacle, and reunites with his old Dynasty bro MJF. They begin thinking of ways to beat the Khan Family Authority. Possibly aligning with the Elite or Inner Circle.

Championships have changed hands many times between all factions. Satnam Singh remains undefeated. The Dark Championship will be defended in two out of three round match. This takes place in Narendra Modi Stadium. Alexander Hammerstone gets an opportunity to face Satnam Singh for the championship.

Satnam Singh gets the first pin, and Alexander Hammerstone gets the second one. Satnam Singh is showing signs of weakness now. Alexander Hammerstone gets the upper hand. The KFA comes out to help Singh but members of the Pinnacle, and the Elite get out just in time.

Alexander Hammerstone pins Satnam Singh, and wins the Dark Championship. After a long undefeated streak, and title reign. Satnam Singh is set-up to begin his pursuit of the TNT championship in order to redeem himself.

That’s what I’d do in order to generate lasting interest in Satnam Singh as a wrestler.
