Bobby Fish Says Nobody Wanted To See The Undisputed Era Split

Bobby Fish recently made an appearance on the “Tru Heel Heat” podcast to discuss a variety of topics, including the end of the Undisputed Era in WWE NXT back in 2021. According to Fish, nobody wanted the group to split up. He said,

“If I’m being honest, I don’t think anybody wanted that. I think that at some point the powers that be thought, but I don’t think they were even sure that they wanted it at that point. I think the pandemic turned everything on its head. I think there were some things that were on with Pat McAfee who was kind of the entity that was going to help us turn babyface with the War Games and all that stuff, which we did. We definitely felt like and I believe WWE felt like we had a babyface run in us and who knows how long that’s gonna go before things were, and then like who knows you can’t predict so especially in pro wrestling.”

Fish continued, “So I think that decision ended up being because they just ran out of the other options and the pandemic. And everything was, you know, no audiences and everything was changing and now they needed, you know, there’s just, it’s just life. That’s how it goes and I’m a firm believer, my faith tells me that it’s his schedule not ours and there’s a reason for this stuff and he was preparing us for something else, you know, not for the four of us to stay together. And who knows what that is and we may never know, but I have faith that it’ll make sense.”

Fish, Kyle O’Reilly, Roderick Strong, and Adam Cole all wound up going to All Elite Wrestling after their WWE NXT contracts expired. Fish has since left the company.
