Bobby Fish eventually made his way to AEW after he was let go by WWE as part of budget cuts last year. He teamed up with Adam Cole and Kyle O’Reilly for a while in AEW, but it was not meant to last forever.
Fish later left AEW after he wasn’t happy with how he was being booked at the promotion. He also recently eviscerated CM Punk. In fact, his beef with CM Punk happened for a good reason.
Prior to all that, he had a solid run in WWE as part of The Undisputed Era. While speaking on his House of Hardcore podcast, Tommy Dreamer revealed that former Senior Director of Talent Relations Mark Carrano had no idea who Bobby Fish was.
I didn’t even work at WWE and Mark Carrano called me up about you. It was this whole, ‘Who the f*** is Bobby Fish?’ I was like, ‘Bobby is a great guy, I know him well.’ He’s like, ‘He was booked, and then he wasn’t booked, and now we’re signing him.’ ‘I don’t know anything about this.’ I’ll never forget a random call from good ol’ WWE and ‘Who the f**** is Bobby Fish?’ Shout out to the stooge Mark Carrano. Top stooge.;’
WWE also never contacted Bobby Fish in order to make a return to the company. We’ll have to see what’s next in store for the former WWE and AEW star.
