Fightful Select reports that AEW will not be renewing Bobby Fish’s contract. Fish made his debut on the October 6, 2021 episode of Dynamite. This would suggest that he has about a month left on his deal.
Fish may have a landing spot in WWE because he recently had some positive things to say about Triple H. He said the following on the Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling podcast last week:
“I do remember the first time I was at NXT, he gave the post show talk to the group, I remember it was at Full Sail. He laid out some things and the vision and the way that he saw certain things, etc, etc. By the time he was done talking, I don’t know if it was, you know, 20 minutes or 30 minutes, but by the time he was done talking, I just remember thinking to myself, like as a pro wrestling fan, pro wrestling guy, pro wrestler, whatever you want to call it, if you could listen to that speech and not support this guy, like, lose my number. We can’t be friends because his way he saw the whole thing was just awesome. Number one, I’m a fan of the way he sees the business. But two, he really wants the business itself to thrive and to go on to have uncharted success. Then after being there with him for the better part of three or four years or whatever, and being the Undisputed Era, going through the WarGames and all that stuff, I would go to war for that man, hands down. If he tells me, ‘Listen, I need you to run through that wall’, I’m gonna try. If he tells me he thinks I can do it, like, alright. I will try.”
It’s possible that those comments may have led to his release and/or Fish may have wanted to go back to WWE. We don’t know what the contract status is for Kyle O’Reilly but Adam Cole has several years left on his deal.
Several in AEW have been told Bobby Fish's AEW contract is not being renewed.
