New Details on Bobby Fish’s Exit From AEW

[Liz]

A new report has some additional details on Bobby Fish's exit from AEW. As reported, Fish's contract expired at the start of the month, and Fightful Select has some new details on the situation.

According to the new report, there was some interest on both sides toward renewing Fish's deal and some discussions took place, but the two couldn't come to financial terms and ended up parting ways. It is also noted that there was not much in terms of creative plans for Fish once Kyle O'Reilly went down due to injury.

AEW reportedly thought the parting was generally amicable until Fish made some posts on social media about CM Punk and AEW. Fish is still on friendly terms with many in AEW; there were issues between Punk and Fish, as Fish had told many people he didn't appreciate Punk's attitude after their October 2021 bout. That said, the site reports the issues didn't have any bearing on Fish's contract expiring.

There's no word of WWE reaching out to Fish, and he hasn't been mentioned creatively in the company.
