Former AEW star Bobby Fish was reportedly present backstage at some recent WWE NXT live events, according to Fightful Select.
Fish had a four-year stint with the sports entertainment juggernaut, winning the NXT Tag Team Championships twice. However, he was released from his contract on August 6, 2021. Shortly after his departure, he made his AEW debut on the October 6th edition of Dynamite. Following an uneventful run, Bobby Fish left the company.
Fightful Select recently reported that while Fish has joined IMPACT Wrestling, and worked on independent dates, he isn't "locked down to a contract." The report stated that the 45-year-old star worked as a guest coach for NXT, as per sources close to the situation.

Bobby Fish recently stated that former WWE NXT Champion Samoa Joe could be a potential locker room leader in AEW
While speaking on the latest edition of his Undisputed Era podcast, Fish brought up the topic of locker room leaders in AEW. He said that the title of "locker room leader" is earned and cannot be given to anyone.
Bobby Fish mentioned how The Undertaker was called a leader because he earned everyone's respect backstage. The former AEW star then shared his thoughts on a potential locker room leader in All Elite Wrestling:
"That's really all that's required, the acknowledgment of your peers. Sometimes that person isn't seeking it, it gets bestowed on him. I wasn't in all of these locker rooms, but I could see a guy like Samoa Joe being a good locker room leader," said Bobby Fish.
"The arguing between the AEW & the WWE fans is ridiculous,
It’s you taking your ego and something you have nothing involved with and trying to start a conflict with something else,
Watch what you watch and enjoy what you want to enjoy."

With Fish seemingly not having a full-time contract with any promotion, it will be interesting to see if Triple H will bring him back to WWE.
