AEW President Tony Khan has distanced himself from the debut of Satnam Singh which received a mixed response from fans.

Singh debuted on this week’s Dynamite by attacking Samoa Joe to close out the show, but fans have criticized having a brand new star debut in such an important moment.

It’s also been reported that Singh’s debut, believed to be part of AEW’s attempts to expand their Indian market, received mixed reactions backstage.

Speaking to Busted Open Radio, Khan discussed what many have considered a botched debut, saying:

“I could have done it better. It’s one of those things, I wish I had done it differently because the fans are always going to be right so if the fans don’t like something…sometimes, there is something where you’re trying to get heat, so if you’re in a ‘trying to get heat,’ situation people aren’t always going to love it, but there are things about it that I probably should’ve done differently, now that I see in hindsight. To be honest, it wasn’t my idea to turn the lights out, but I am the ultimate filter and who everything goes through.

“To be honest, the person who brought up turning the lights off has over 30 years of experience in pro wrestling. When they brought it up to me, I was only looking at the pros and I should have thought about the cons, because that is my job as the person who decides what goes in and who filters out these ideas. We have all these people in the room and somehow, not one person brought up the negative. When we did it, all the negatives were very obvious.”

Singh signed with AEW in late 2021.

Before wrestling, he was the first Indian NBA signing.
