Arjan Bhullar is the new ONE World Heavyweight Champion. He defeated Brandon Vera in a fight that took place April 28th, 2021 from Singapore Indoor Stadium. The fight didn’t air until today, however. After his victory, the new champion called out stars from both WWE and AEW.
“I have reached the pinnacle of this sport now I want to attack the pro-wrestling industry. AEW, WWE, I’m coming for you guys next, consider this a warning shot,” Bhullar said.
The promotion Bhullar fights for, ONE, recently signed a deal with TNT. So far, 4 fight cards from the promotion have aired on the network. Bhullar isn’t the first fighter from the promotion to call out stars from AEW. Vitor Belfort is also signed to the promotion, has appeared on Dynamite as part of Mike Tyson’s entourage, and has asked Tony Khan to give him a match with Chris Jericho.
“With myself being with ONE, and on the same network, I think it’s time for [AEW CEO] Tony Khan to give me Jericho, and I can whip Jericho’s butt. We can really make that fight happen,” Belfort said to SCMP MMA.
Arjan Bhullar fights out of Richmond, British Columbia, Canada. His pro-record sits at 11-1, including a 3-1 stretch in the UFC.
