Roderick Strong Earns Undisputed Win Over Bobby Fish, Trey Baxter Beats Joe Gacy In NXT Breakout Tournament

Roderick Strong Earns Undisputed Win Over Bobby Fish

Roderick Strong picked up a major win over a former teammate this week on WWE NXT.

On Tuesday, Strong faced Bobby Fish in a heated singles match. The former Undisputed Era stablemates have been at odds in recent weeks, has Fish has been fighting alongside Kushida against Strong’s new stable, Diamond Mine. When the two stars finally clashed in the ring, they hoped to settle the score.

They did just that, as Strong earned the decisive victory while the rest of Diamond Mine watched on. Fish fought valiantly, and he had clearly knocked off any of the ring rust that had been a factor in some of his recent matches. Still, Strong was just too much for him, as “The Messiah of the Backbreaker” pinned him to pick up an undisputed victory.
