The encounter between The Great Khali and AEW's Satnam Singh was quite amicable

Standing at over 7 feet tall and hailing from India, comparisons between The Great Khali and Satnam Singh were inevitable. So too between him and Jinder Mahal, who's not nearly as tall, but happens to be the face of pro wrestling from India right now.

When asked if he'd met his fellow Indians from the pro wrestling world, Satnam Singh had this to say:

"Yeah, [one or two] times. I’ve met The Great Khali once and Jinder Mahal once. They’re really nice guys and really down to earth. That was a great experience to meet everyone. They're my seniors. Learning from them was a great opportunity for me. They're really amazing guys," said Singh.

Satnam Singh is yet to make his AEW debut and is currently training at the Nightmare Factory with QT Marshall and Cody Rhodes. Chances are that we'll see him on the Indian TV channel Eurosport, which has inked a deal with AEW recently. Singh is not a man of many words, but shared his thoughts about the deal:

"This is a really big deal and I'm really excited to see if AEW ever comes to India," added Satnam Singh.

Do you guys see Satnam Singh as the second reincarnation of The Great Khali? What do you make of AEW's potential foray into the Indian market? Let us know in the comments!
