After William Regal, Another Integral Member of Triple H’s NXT Joins AEW, Fans Divided: “Their Smartest Hire”, “Aew Is WWE”

There’s no denying the fact that AEW has always been in search of ex-WWE wrestlers or anyone associated with the renowned promotion to add more experience to their roster. There have been uncountable instances where AEW has hired WWE officials. Similar to their hiring from a year back, they employed another integral member of Triple H‘s NXT, Adam Hopkins. 

One known name among the officials of WWE is William Regal, who has almost served a 22-year tenure with the company. However, he was released in January 2022 and joined AEW in March. Regal played a crucial role in developing NXT into what it is today and brought his nous to AEW. Now, it’s time for another person to serve AEW who played a pivotal role in building The Game’s vision for NXT.

News of another crucial member of Triple H’s NXT joining AEW comes to the surface

According to Mike Johnson at PWInsider, AEW has hired former WWE Vice President of Communications, Adam Hopkins. Although there’s no confirmation of his new role in the Jacksonville-based promotion, as per several sources he has already started working last Wednesday, i.e. March 29 episode of AEW Dynamite in St. Louis.

Earlier this year, Hopkins left WWE after serving a record-setting tenure in the company. To add such an experienced member to the company is clearly a great decision by AEW. However, now it will be interesting to see how a former WWE employee shapes its competitor. But upon his joining AEW, there have been mixed reactions coming in from wrestling enthusiasts.
