Bobby Fish, who is a member of the NXT faction the Undisputed Era, was a guest on <a href="https://omny.fm/shows/e-c-s-pod-of-awesomeness/undisputed-era-member-bobby-fish/embed" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)">the E&amp;C Pod of Awesomeness</a> recently and he talked a bit about his journey to the WWE.



Fish was previously in Ring of Honor at the same time as his Undisputed Era stablemates, his tag team partner Kyle O’Riley and former NXT North American Champion Adam Cole. According to Fish, the idea of a stable actually came to them in ROH.

After the three had a short program together in ROH, Fish pitched the idea but it wasn’t picked up. When the three were signed in NXT, they talked about the idea again but thought that the WWE wouldn’t go for it. Then, one day, it was Triple H himself who pitched the idea of the stable.

Fish and O’Riley were already known for working together before they came to the WWE, being a successful tag team called reDRagon at ROH and New Japan Pro Wrestling. According to Fish they never expected to be in the WWE.

<blockquote style="text-align:center" class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">“WWE was still a place where you needed to be six-foot something and there was a certain body type that they were looking for and neither one of us really possessed that,&#8221; Fish recalls.</blockquote>



<blockquote style="text-align:center" class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">&#8220;We were more work-rate guys, and smaller, more technical, and I felt like, at the time, we were doing decent promos and we could kind of carry that end a little bit, but I don&#8217;t know. I don&#8217;t think that either one of us expected WWE to be in the cards,” he adds. </blockquote>

Even when they were signed with the WWE, Fish admits to having
been scared for his job when he suffered a torn ACL and MCL on his left knee
back in March 2018.



<blockquote style="text-align:center" class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">“I was scared as hell,” said Fish, adding he thought that this would now mean he was “damaged goods”</blockquote>



 To cover for Fish’s injury, they added Roderick Strong and it turned out well. He was also reassured by both NXT Head Coach and Triple H that the company still had plans for him.



Upon his return Fish and O’Riley won the NXT Tagteam
Championships and held them till NXT:TakeOver Phoenix when they lost to the War
Raiders.
