According to Fightful Select, William Regal is officially done with AEW. This past Wednesday’s spot with AEW World Champion MJF was clearly a way to write him off television, after helping the champion win on the Full Gear event weeks ago. Rumors have run rampant that the former NXT general manager could be on his way back to WWE. Regal was released last year from the company due to the latter promotion’s budget cuts.
