Current AEW star Satnam Singh reveals why he has just wrestled 10 matches in 2023

Satnam is one of the best giants the company has to offer. The latter has, however, wrestled just 10 matches in the promotion, with his last bout taking place at the All Out pay-per-view.

In a recent interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling's Riju Dasgupta, Singh revealed why he has wrestled very little this year.

“I think with me you have to figure out the stories, it’s like there’s so many wrestlers over there right now. It’s almost like over 300 wrestlers, you know? So we try to put everything together so we have like almost — I think we have like four shows in a week. Like on a Wednesday, we have ROH, Dynamite, and Rampage, and then on Saturday, we have Collision, then ROH. So we have a lot of shows going on," said Satnam Singh.
