William Regal is none too pleased with some fans claiming that he jumped ship from WWE to AEW to “snake the competition.”
Regal, who left AEW in December of 2022 and has since returned to WWE to spend more time with his son Charlie Dempsey, took to Twitter to respond to a fan who thanked him for “everything you did for NXT and also snaking out the competition (AEW).”
Regal wrote, “FYI. Although it serves some people’s agenda, and having a massive amount of people who work in AEW that can only back me up, I went to AEW to help because Bryan Danielson asked me to. Please find me one person who can say otherwise.

He called me and as soon as he told me where he was I ended the phone call and we spoke 2 weeks later. FYI, my deal was up in December ‘28. That’s when I left. These are all facts I can prove.
