William Regal made his AEW debut at Revolution 2022

At AEW Revolution, the WWE Legend made his legendary debut. It wasn’t something the fans or even some backstage were expecting.

He appeared in the arena and helped Jon Moxley and Bryan Danielson form a partnership. Later, Tony Khan confirmed that Regal was officially a part of AEW.

Unfortunately, his segment ran rather long, even when he was asked to wrap it up. As a result, some of the following segments had to be cut short.

Prior to his AEW debut, Regal was working with WWE NXT 2.0. One of his last NXT works was with Samoa Joe and Karrion Kross.

Prior to Kross going to Raw as the NXT Champion, he attacked Regal. To avenge Regal, Joe resigned as an official and signed a pro-wrestler contract with the company. He took on Kross and defeated him to avenge William Regal.

Apart from being the General Manager of NXT, Regal acted as the Director of Talent Development and Head of Global Recruiting from 2018. Unfortunately for the WWE fans, WWE released Regal in 2022.

Apparently, WWE did not want to hire from independent promotions anymore and WWE NXT 2.0’s developmental plans did not require William Regal’s services any further. The company issued a statement revealing the same.

Now, since Regal’s health is doing now, hopefully, he will bring the same energy and vibe to AEW as he begins a new chapter in pro-wrestling.
