The Undisputed Era was one of the most dominant and beloved factions in NXT historybut they never made it to WWEs main roster.
During an with TMZ Inside the Ring, Bobby Fish finally explained why the group was never called up to Raw or SmackDown, and according to him, it came down to a mix of bad timing, backstage chaos, and a premature breakup.
Fish made it clear the idea of bringing the group up was on the table, I think it was considered. I think it was given quite a bit of consideration. But that plan never came togetherand Fish believes the COVID-19 era played a huge role in derailing those plans.
Fish said things began to shift creatively after the groups WarGames feud with Pat McAfee. What was supposed to be a longer arc got cut short due to contract-related issues with McAfee.
Once that story was scrapped, WWE didnt seem to have a strong next step for the faction. Thats when the wheels started to fall off.
Fish believes the breakup came far too soonand the group was still white hot when WWE chose to end things.
He said the decision was a result of circumstances out of their control, and the group got swept up in the confusion.
Even now, Fish thinks that lost opportunity is part of why fans still want to see the Undisputed Era reunited on a major stage.
The truth hurts for longtime fans of the faction, but Fishs honesty pulls back the curtain on one of WWEs most questioned creative calls of the last decade.
