William Regal says he went to AEW to help.
Regal returned to WWE in January 2023 after he spent several months in AEW. WWE previously released him in January 2022. Upon his return, Regal was named Vice President of Global Talent Development.
In a tweet, Regal responded to a fan who claimed that he was “snaking out the competition (AEW).” He stated that he went to AEW to help because Bryan Danielson asked him to.
“FYI. Although it serves some people’s agenda, and having a massive amount of people who work in AEW that can only back me up, I went to AEW to help because Bryan Danielson asked me to,” William Regal said. “Please find me one person who can say otherwise. I arrived at 10 am until 6.15 pm ( est) to train anyone who wanted to come, apart from going to the rest room and refilling my water container, I never attended a single production meeting ( as I knew, if I were to stay there) I needed people to realize I was only there to help.”
William Regal: I Helped With No Agenda
William Regal continued by saying that he did not ask anyone about their contract status. He stated that one could ask those at AEW whether he did anything but help with no agenda. Regal also commented on his exit from AEW and said that these were all facts that he could prove.
“Nor did I ask a single question about anybody that works there’s contract status,” William Regal said. “I helped at the ring with what any of the talent needed. I showered and got into a suit by 6.30 then watched he monitor with everyone else. I’m giving you the right to ask anyone who works backstage or talent the right to ask them if I did anything but help with no agenda. Feel free. I also didn’t call Tony when his Mom was ill.
“He called me and as soon as he told me where he was I ended the phone call and we spoke 2 weeks later. FYI, my deal was up in December ‘28. That’s when I left. These are all facts I can prove. Anyone trying to twist this has the right to check this out. I am friendly with 60% + of the talent and backstage crew. Feel free to do some real research.”
Since his return to WWE, Regal has also appeared on NXT TV, and he was shown in the crowd on the September 13, 2024 episode of WWE SmackDown.
