In the world of professional wrestling, few names inspire as much respect and admiration as Campaign Singh, the ring persona of Canadian wrestler Munraj Sahota. Born into a wrestling dynasty, Munraj Sahota’s journey from local promotions to the grand stage of Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Wrestling is one of grit, perseverance, and a love for the sport deeply rooted in his family legacy. This is the story of how Sahota transformed into the charismatic Campaign Singh, captivating fans across the globe.
Early Life and Wrestling Heritage of Munraj Sahota
Munraj Sahota was born into a family where wrestling was more than just a sport—it was a way of life. His father, Gama Singh, was a legendary wrestler, known for his exploits across Canada and internationally. From an early age, Sahota was drawn to the energy and passion that defined professional wrestling. Trained by his father, Munraj grew up with an innate understanding of the ring, learning techniques, discipline, and the importance of respect for the craft.
The wrestling bloodline didn’t stop there—Munraj Sahota is also the cousin of Yuvraj Singh Dhesi, better known as Jinder Mahal, a two-time WWE Champion. Surrounded by wrestling greatness, Sahota was destined to carve his own path in the sport.
The Early Career of Gama Singh Jr. (2004–2018)
Campaign Singh’s journey began under the name Gama Singh Jr. as he debuted in 2003. From 2004 to 2016, Sahota honed his skills in Canadian promotions such as Stampede Wrestling, All-Star Wrestling, Prairie Wrestling Alliance (PWA), Great North Wrestling, and Power Zone Wrestling. These early years were foundational, not just for the technical mastery Sahota gained but also for developing a resilience essential for longevity in the professional wrestling world.
During this period, Munraj Sahota formed a successful tag team with his cousin, Tiger Raj Singh. Their teamwork led to championship victories, including the All-Star Wrestling and Stampede Wrestling Tag Team Championships. This partnership laid the groundwork for the dynamic teamwork Sahota would later bring to the international stage.
But despite early successes, it wasn’t an easy climb. As Gama Singh Jr., Sahota faced the usual struggles of an up-and-coming wrestler: grueling training sessions, long travel schedules, and countless matches in smaller venues. These years built the character and determination that would eventually carry him to bigger stages.
Entering the World of Impact Wrestling (2018–Present)
In 2018, Munraj Sahota’s career took a significant leap when he debuted in Impact Wrestling (formerly known as Total Nonstop Action Wrestling). Rebranded as Raj Singh, he joined forces with Rohit Raju to form the Desi Hit Squad, under the management of his father, Gama Singh. This was a turning point in his career as he transitioned from being a local Canadian wrestler to becoming a recognizable name in one of the world’s top wrestling promotions.
The Desi Hit Squad’s debut match was a victory, defeating The Beach Bums and showcasing their tag team chemistry. Throughout 2018 and 2019, the Desi Hit Squad went head-to-head with formidable opponents like Fallah Bahh, Eddie Edwards, and Eli Drake. Though they experienced losses, Munraj Sahota’s determination never wavered.
During this time, Munraj Sahota also began to establish himself as a singles competitor. His battles against Trey Miguel and Fallah Bahh, though not always victorious, revealed his individual potential and growing confidence in the ring.
The Evolution to Campaign Singh (2023–Present)
The evolution of Munraj Sahota’s character reached a new peak in February 2023 when he embraced a new persona—Champagne Singh, a flashy, playboy-inspired character. This reinvention marked the next chapter of his career, pairing him with Shera in a tag team that blended charisma with in-ring prowess. His larger-than-life personality captured the imagination of fans, making him one of the more compelling figures on Impact Wrestling.
But the transformation didn’t stop there. In 2024, Sahota took another bold step, becoming Campaign Singh. Aligning with Mustafa Ali, Sahota’s new persona reflected ambition, a hunger for dominance, and a desire to build a powerful faction within TNA. Campaign Singh wasn’t just about wrestling; it was about making a statement and building a legacy that would stand the test of time.
