Less of a heel towards AEW specifically - Fish was eventually more diplomatic in his assessment of the company and the mutual decision for them to part ways - the former Undisputed Era man was particularly critical of one of his former colleagues.

On working with CM Punk in All Elite Wrestling, Fish said;

“I’m working for AEW, they’re paying my check, you ask me to put my shoulders down for Phil Brooks, I go out and do it. Interestingly enough, there was a little whatever in the match we had, and Phil was…after the match, Phil was a c*nt. Frankly, as a martial artist, I went out and laid my shoulders down for you, you should be grateful that I did because on national TV, if I decided that I wanted to f*cking Haku your ass, I could have because you’re that little of a threat in my world. I’m not Jon Jones or Anderson Silva, but I’ve been doing martial arts long enough to where I can hold you like a wet nap Phil Brooks. For you to be c*nty after, for a mistake you made, it doesn’t wear well."

Fish's tenure with the organisation ultimately fizzled alongside the group's inability to get an Undisputed Era reboot over due to bad timing and injuries, and Punk didn't ever respond publicly to the comments.
