Bobby Fish Injury Update, AEW Planning To Implement Drug Testing Program

Bobby Fish Injured At NXT Live Event

It is being reported that NXT Superstar Bobby Fish was injured at the live event in Philadelphia May 17. It was not serious enough to send him home but he did not compete for the rest of the tour.

According to The Wrestling Observer, “Fish & O’Reilly were facing Oney Lorcan & Danny Burch. Lorcan kicked Fish in the head and he was knocked silly. Even though he looked woozy and the ref seemed to act like he wanted to stop it, Fish did several more spots.” The referee threw up the “X” symbol and Fish was tended to by training staff. They quickly got Fish to the back and he was at the show the next night in Belair, MD but didn’t wrestle. He came out with his arm in a sling and they said he was injured and could not compete.

There is no further word on his status at this time.
