The relationship between Bobby Fish and AEW isn’t one-and-done after all.
Fish appeared on the Oct. 6 episode of Dynamite. This was the special two-year anniversary of the show. Fish challenged Sammy Guevara for the TNT Championship inside the Liacouras Center in Philadelphia, PA. Fish fell short in the match as Sammy scored the pinfall.
As it turns out, Bobby Fish is actually sticking with AEW. The promotion announced he is All Elite.
There had been a report by Fightful that Fish told friends during an MLW taping that he hadn’t signed with AEW. While it’s possible that he was offered a deal after the taping, he may have just been trying to keep things under wraps.
Before announcing the Fish signing, AEW posted a video of the former tag team title holder for WWE and NJPW vowing to meet Sammy Guevara again for the TNT gold down the road.
Fish had been with WWE on the NXT brand since 2017. He had success on the show as a part of the Undisputed Era. He held the NXT Tag Team Championship twice. Fish was released from his WWE contract along with a slew of other NXT talent as a result of budget cuts.
