Bobby Fish has spoken out on his upcoming TNT Championship match with Sammy Guevara.
Guevara closed out the Sept. 29 edition of AEW Dynamite by capturing the TNT Championship. He pinned Miro with a 630 Senton Splash to lay claim to the gold. This is his first singles title run in AEW.
After the match, Fish hopped on his Twitter account to congratulate the newly-crowned TNT Champion. He also laid down a challenge, which was accepted by Guevara during a commercial break on the debut episode of Rhodes To The Top.
Appearing on SiriusXM’s Busted Open Radio, Bobby Fish commented on the title match.
“I’m at home watching AEW, just like everybody else, and I see this thing go down and I’m thinking, ‘fortune favors the bold.’ That title and this mustache would look pretty fantastic together. I can either sit on my hands and do nothing or I can put my name in the ring, so to speak, and see what happens. That’s what I did. I feel like I was ready in my career for a ‘fresh coat of paint,’ so to speak and here we are. It wasn’t orchestrated and I didn’t seek it out. Things feel into place and it happened. I have this new lease on my wrestling life and I can’t wait to go at this thing guns blazing.”
Fish was one of many names released by WWE from the NXT roster. It didn’t take long for Fish to find at least one landing spot as he is set to make his debut for MLW on Oct. 2.
Guevara vs. Fish will take place on the Oct. 6 edition of AEW Dynamite. AEW is wasting little time making Guevara’s first title defense.
Also set for that episode of Dynamite will be The Elite vs. Bryan Danielson, Christian Cage, and Jurassic Express. Plus, Hikaru Shida is going for her 50th win in AEW when she meets Serena Deeb. Fans will also witness a Casino Ladder Match with the winner earning a shot at the AEW World Heavyweight Championship.
