William Regal has returned to WWE television.
On this week’s episode of WWE NXT, Regal appeared in a backstage segment with Ava where he officially named her the new General Manager of the gold brand. Just prior to their interaction, Regal had walked out of Shawn Michaels’ office.
As we reported just prior to WWE NXT going live, there was some discussion in recent weeks about having Regal make his return to the NXT brand.
Regal departed AEW in late 2022. One of the stipulations involved in his AEW exit was that he’d be unable to return to WWE TV until the end of when his AEW contract would have been.
Welcome back, @RealKingRegal!!!
