“Where Is the FISH?”: Fans Urge Tony Khan to Re-Sign 46-Year-Old Wrestler as His Former NXT Stablemate Makes Shocking AEW Debut

The AEW is currently on a signing spree. Tony Khan’s promotion has had nine fresh faces emerge in 2023, six of whom appeared in April alone. Four male and two female wrestlers feature among those half-a-dozen talents. The company pulled a trump card by introducing Jay White on its April 5 episode of Dynamite.

Fans were equally thrilled with the latest signee but urged Khan to re-sign a former talent to complete a stable that was part of WWE’s developmental territory, NXT.

Tony Khan’s new employee rescues Adam Cole during AEW debut

While Jay White’s signing was impressive, All Elite Wrestling surprised its fans as Roderick Strong made his debut on Wednesday night in Florida. Strong, who was a member of the NXT stable The Undisputed Era alongside Adam Cole, ran towards the ring to save his friend from the Jericho Appreciation Society. After repealing the attack, Strong and Cole hugged each other inside the squared circle as the spectators cheered the newcomer.

Meanwhile, wrestling fans urged Tony Khan to bring back Bobby Fish, another member of The Undisputed Era. The four-men heel stable comprised of Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, Kyle O’Reilly, and Roderick Strong.

Reacting to the report of Strong’s AEW signing, this fan asked a pertinent question.

While this user said he’s happy with Cole and Strong reuniting, but asked Khan to bring back the other stable mate.

Other reactions:

Strong, who had a successful run at NXT, won the NXT Tag Team Champion twice, NXT North American Champion once, and was a 1x NXT Cruiserweight Champion. According to reports, his WWE push lost momentum after Triple H lost power in NXT.

Meanwhile, this is ‘The Messiah of the Backbreaker’s’ first stint with the AEW.

Will The Undisputed Era start their reign in AEW?

The 39-year-old Strong is the last of the four ‘The Undisputed Era’ member to join AEW. While Cole and O’Reilly are currently under AEW patronage, Bobby Fish is a free agent.

Fish wrestled as an All Elite between 2021 and 2022. He did not renew his contract after it expired last August.

Meanwhile, Khan might be tempted to bring back the 46-year-old to his fold, especially after getting Strong on board. The quartet had a tremendous run in NXT, till their eventual split in 2021. However, the faction never graduated to the main roster in WWE. Khan now has the opportunity to use a tried and tested formula and woo spectators.

Both AEW and Roderick Strong were able to keep his debut a surprise. So, is Tony Khan working towards acquiring Fish’s service? We will have to wait and watch for that one.
