Impact Wrestling used Sonjay Dutt as not only a wrestler but also a backstage head around. TNA’s X-Division revolved around him for quite sometimes. In fact, he won this X-Division Championship in May 2017 in Mumbai, India. It was a first time ever that any of the pro-wrestling company hosted a taping for their weekly episodes.

Sonjay Dutt was an integral part of that campaign being an Indian. WWE is eyeing the same trying to grab the market of subcontinent using a superstar belonging to here. For years now, WWE has intended to spread their wings on the Indian market. But ever since The Great Khali left, they could not get the X-factor to garner enough attention.

For most of his career, he works for the TNA brand that later changed into Impact Wrestling brand. That status kept intact until PWInsider.com revealed that he left his former employer.
