The Undisputed Era is one of the most lauded factions in “WWE NXT,” and for a while, Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly, Bobby Fish, and Roderick Strong dominated the brand and all four took home the gold.
In a recent appearance on “Under The Ropes,” Fish commented on the success of The Undisputed Era and whether they predicted their popularity. According to him, none of them predicted their success and just wanted to be workhorses.
“Working with those three on ‘NXT’ was more than we could have asked for, honestly. So, being together like this, it’s really been — you know, we’re working hard and that’s what we all want to be: we want to be the workhorse of that brand.”
Despite the success, he remains humble and grateful for the opportunity and says they often look back on it with love.
“Getting that opportunity? So thankful for that, but to get that opportunity and do it all together? I don’t think any of us could have predicted any of that. Definitely, something to look at let’s take it now and realize how blessed we are and just try to be thankful for what it is,” said the former WWE star.
Fish, who has previously spoken about their friendship, described the experience of working with each other as a friendship between friends and said he never felt like he was going to work.
“Tagging or being in a group with those guys, it’s like I didn’t go to work for four years, I was paid as if I was going to work, but there was no real work. I think that’s why it worked as it did for us, in I think Hunter recognized what was there.”
