Bobby Fish elaborated on what went wrong during his negotiations with AEW over a new deal, and why he and the company couldn’t come to an agreement.

“We couldn’t agree on a number going forward,” he said. “We couldn’t agree on — not even a number, we couldn’t agree on numbers. So, we’re talking about everything that would be in a contract, and we tried, you know, and my agent at the time who knows their lawyers, they tried, but we just couldn’t come to an agreement. I don’t overvalue myself, but do value myself.”

After Fish left AEW, he had a few matches in Impact Wrestling, where he made his debut at Bound for Glory in October 2022 in the Call Your Shot Gauntlet. He is now a part of NJPW, where his last match was in February, against Bullet Club member David Finlay during the Battle in the Valley Kickoff show. His last wrestling match was with the Tri-State Wrestling promotion on June 3.

Fish has also entered the boxing world since his exit from AEW, winning his one and only bout so far. The bout took place last November, where he defeated Boateng Prempeh by knockout.
