Professional wrestling career

[edit]

Early career (2004–2018)

[edit]

Sahota received training from his father Gama Singh and debuted as early as 2003. From 2004 to 2016, as Gama Singh Jr., he wrestled solely in the Canadian promotions including Stampede Wrestling, All-Star Wrestling, Prairie Wrestling Alliance, Great North Wrestling and Power Zone Wrestling. During those years, Singh won Tag Team Championships in All-Star Wrestling and Stampede Wrestling, teaming with his cousin Tiger Raj Singh.

Impact Wrestling / Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (2018–present)

[edit]

Sahota debuted in Impact Wrestling on the November 1, 2018 episode of Impact!, under the ring name Raj Singh. He debuted with his tag team partner Rohit Raju under the tag team name Desi Hit Squad. They were introduced by their manager and Singh's father Gama Singh. In their debut match, the Desi Hit Squad defeated the team of The Beach Bums (Freddie IV and TJ Crawford). The Desi Hit Squad finished the year with a match during the December 6, episode of Impact!, defeating the team of Damien Hyde and Manny Lemons.

The Desi Hit Squad returned for the January 3, 2019 episode of Impact! in a tag match against the team of Fallah Bahh and KM, a match which was observed by Scarlett Bordeaux, in hopes of winning her favor. The Desi Hit Squad, however, was unsuccessful in winning the match. During the month of January, Singh wrestled his first singles match, losing to Trey Miguel. He later in the month wrestled and lost his second singles match against Fallah Bahh. During the month of February the Desi Hit Squad wrestled against teams including The Rascalz (Dezmond Xavier and Zachary Wentz) and Eddie Edwards and Eli Drake.

In February 2023, he changed his ring name to "Champagne Singh", adopting more of a playboy character and teaming regularly with Shera. In 2024, he became "Campaign Singh" after aligning himself with Mustafa Ali.
