AEW Star Rumored To Be Heading To WWE - Wrestling Inc. Newsletter
William Regal Reportedly Could Be Leaving AEW For WWE
At AEW Revolution in March, fans were shocked when longtime WWE veteran William Regal debuted in the company after being released from his WWE contract in January. According to reports at the time, the company felt like they no longer had a place for Regal since they were completely uprooting "NXT" to try out the "NXT 2.0" variation of the brand. But now that the Vince McMahon regime in WWE has essentially been replaced by Stephanie McMahon, Nick Khan, and Triple H, it appears a spot for Regal may be open once more.
We noted this past weekend that rumblings had begun regarding Regal's AEW contract ending sometime in the near future, and that story has now been corroborated by additional sources like PWInsider and Fightful. The latter notes that Regal's contract could be up as early as this month, which would give us some backstage insight as to why he was attacked by MJF on last night's episode of "AEW Dynamite" and possibly written off television. Both sources add that there is "absolutely interest" from WWE in bringing back the multi-time Intercontinental Champion, with PWInsider noting "all signs are that William Regal will be World Wrestling Entertainment-bound shortly."
