Tony Khan Clarifies William Regal's AEW Status

During a media call today promoting this Saturday's Ring of Honor's Final Battle pay-per-view, AEW and ROH owner Tony Khan confirmed that William Regal will be returning to WWE, having requested that AEW not pick up an option in his contract to allow him to return to WWE and work more closely with his son — "NXT" wrestler Charlie Dempsey. While Regal will be back in WWE soon enough, Khan also confirmed that Regal is still with AEW as of now and is expected to remain with the promotion through the holidays.

CM Punk Shares Photo From WWE Run On His Instagram

CM Punk caused massive waves throughout professional wrestling when he made his return to the business as part of AEW in late August 2021. Fast forward to a little over a year later, and Punk was making waves in the wrestling business again, but this time for a completely different reason. Shortly after winning the AEW World Championship at the All Out pay-per-view, it was announced that he had been stripped of his title after being involved in a notorious brawl with The Elite following the event. Reports have since surfaced that a buy-out of Punk's contract is in the works, and questions about his future have remained unanswered, but now it seems as if the man himself has provided a possible answer.

Punk took to his Instagram stories to post an old picture of him during his time in WWE, wearing yellow ring gear and standing on the middle turnbuckle while clapping his hands. You can check out the photo below:
