[PHOTO] AEW star spotted with WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi
An AEW star recently clicked a picture with WWE Veteran Rikishi. The name being discussed is none other than Satnam Singh.
The Hall of Famer has been one of the top stars during WWE's Attitude Era. He wrestled his last match in the Stamford-based promotion nearly two decades ago but continued to wrestle in TNA and other independent promotions until 2019. For the last couple of years, his sons Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, and Solo Sikoa have been involved in top storylines under Triple H's creative direction.
Meanwhile, the 28-year-old star has been signed to AEW for over three years. He made his in-ring debut along with Jay Lethal in June 2022. He is currently aligned with Jeff Jarrett, Sonjay Dutt, and Jay. Satnam captured his first pro wrestling title alongside Raj Dhesi (FKA Jinder Mahal in WWE) as the duo won the AAA World Tag Team Championship last month at TripleMania XXXII.
Rikishi recently shared a picture with Satnam Singh and dubbed him "India's Giant." The veteran wished the AEW star good luck for his pro wrestling career.
"His name is SATNAM SIGNH BHAMARA @hellosatnam. India’s Giant. Good luck uce enjoy the journey of your pro wrestling ride..#Satnam #aew #Rikishi #wwe #samoandynasty," he wrote.
Rikishi teased Jey Uso leaving WWE for AEW
Since being drafted to RAW, Jey Uso has been the global sports entertainment juggernaut's top draw. Despite being at the top, the Hall of Famer has expressed his displeasure that his son didn't win any top championship in WWE.
While speaking on his OFF THE TOP podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer said that WWE isn't the promotion in town and talked about Jey Uso's potential jump to AEW.
“We already know, the kid is so good. WWE ain't the only spot. He could probably go to AEW if he wanted to write his own ticket, maybe more than what WWE's making on him," he said.
On Monday Night RAW this week, Jey Uso won his first singles title as he dethroned Bron Breakker to become the new Intercontinental Champion. It will be interesting to see if Rikishi and his son ever step foot in AEW.
