There is a reported update on Bobby Fish and his status with AEW.
Fish is scheduled to challenge Sammy Guevara for the TNT Championship on tonight’s (Oct. 6) episode of Dynamite. Many assumed that this would be a one-off but some have observed something interesting about Fish’s shirt in the official poster for his match with Guevara. In the poster, Fish is wearing a shirt with an AEW logo.
Fightful Select has reported that Fish told friends during a recent MLW taping that he hadn’t signed with AEW. Whether or not Bobby Fish was telling the truth or is keeping things under wraps remains to be seen.
Fish had been on WWE’s NXT brand since 2017. He was a part of the Undisputed Era. Along the way, he captured the NXT Tag Team Championships twice. Earlier this year, Fish was one of many NXT talents who was released by WWE due to budget cuts.
Guevara vs. Fish will mark “The Spanish God’s” first TNT Championship defense. Guevara captured the gold by defeating Miro on the Oct. 1 edition of Rampage. This is Guevara’s first title reign in AEW. It’ll also be Fish’s first match under the AEW banner.
