The name in question is William Regal.
The Gentleman Villian left behind his Blackpool Combat Club stablemates in December 2022 to return to WWE. The reason for his departure was that he wanted to spend more time with his family, particularly his son, who currently wrestles on the NXT brand as Charlie Dempsey.
Before he left, Regal shocked the world by turning his back on Jon Moxley and helping MJF win the AEW World Championship. However, this came back to haunt him as the Salt of the Earth turned on Regal, writing him off the TV in the process.
Speaking on the Distraction Pieces podcast with Scroobius Pip, William Regal said that while he enjoyed his time in All Elite Wrestling, he didn’t like the fact that he had a lot of the spotlight.
Regal elaborated by saying that he went into AEW with a specific plan in mind, but when the plans changed, he knew it was time to leave.
As per the recent report, the former NXT General Manager is currently working as a Vice President of Global Talent Development in WWE.
William Regal debuted for AEW at the 2022 Revolution pay-per-view
The former WWE Intercontinental Champion has the unique distinction of being one of the few people who both joined and left AEW in 2022. While his exit from the company was a little bit messy, his debut shocked the world.
Regal showed up at the end of Jon Moxley and Bryan Danielson’s match at the 2022 Revolution pay-per-view to stop the two men from ripping each other limb from limb.
After calling a truce between the two men, Regal got Moxley and Danielson to shake hands, forming the Blackpool Combat Club in the process. The BCC also had a lot of success in 2022, with Moxley, Wheeler Yuta, and Claudio Castagnoli bringing gold to the group at different times.
