Bobby Fish is once again a free agent.
On Wednesday night, it was reported that Fish’s contract was set to expire soon because AEW was not renewing it. Fish’s AEW contract officially expired on Wednesday, August 31, according to a new report from PWInsider. Fish is now a free agent.
Fish’s most recent appearance on AEW TV was on the August 3 episode of Dynamite, which marked the return of The Undisputed Elite. Fish, Adam Cole, and Kyle O’Reilly attacked The Young Bucks in what appeared to be an attempt to start some kind of feud, but we have not seen any of them since then.
After suffering an ankle injury during his fight against Darby Allin on June 17 at Rampage, Fish was sidelined for a period of time earlier this summer, but he made his comeback with a victory over Blake Li during the tapings for Dark: Elevation on July 13, and that victory was broadcast on the episode that aired on July 18.
After being let go by WWE on August 6, 2021 as part of a larger round of budget cuts, Fish worked the first event for Battleground Championship Wrestling and then the MLW Fightland tapings on October 2. In the first round of the Opera Cup Tournament, he defeated Lee Moriarty, but in the semi-finals, he was eliminated by Davey Richards, who went on to win the tournament and become the MLW National Openweight Champion. Fish then made his AEW debut on the episode of Dynamite that aired on October 6, 2021. During this match, Fish challenged the then-AEW TNT Champion Sammy Guevara, but he was unsuccessful. Later on that night, AEW made the announcement that Fish had signed a contract with the company. He got back together with Cole in November and O’Reilly in December, both after they had left WWE and made their debuts in AEW. After making their official comeback to tag team competition as reDRagon, Fish and O’Reilly were unsuccessful in their attempts to win the AEW World Tag Team Titles at Revolution in March and on the April 13 Dynamite.

On September 24th, Fish will be in Crown Point, Indiana, to run a wrestling seminar for Black Label Pro. You can e-mail [email protected] for more information.
There has been no word on what this means for Cole and O’Reilly in AEW, who are both still injured. There is also no news available about what Fish has planned for the future at this time, but we will keep you updated as new information becomes available.
