IF he's WWE bound, it might be because Trips wants him to be the head of development in Europe or he wants to oversee his sons career and wants to be closer to him (he does have health issues). I keep forgetting his son is in NXT. That could play a huge part.

I enjoyed Regals run in AEW. If this is it, it's not a huge loss, especially if his only role was being a manager.
Now that Triple H has been in power, it was more of a when rather than if on him returning to WWE. Didn't know it would be so soon, though.

I understand that if you are told something off the record you can’t report it but Dave should stop teasing he has more information if he can’t report it. Right and that would make people wanting to talk him about confidential stuff, get spooked

Right and that would make people wanting to talk him about confidential stuff, get spooked I feel like lately a lot of the reporter types don’t know how to pick a lane between being an actual report the news guy or a click-getter content pumper. Oooh I know what’s happening but I’m not telling! Shut up. Go away. Lol

We went from "His deal is up soon" to "He has a three year deal" to "His deal is actually up right now"
Like jesus christ this is one of those stories where the Dirtsheets look like clowns so they can get a news story out before they know anything for a solid fact.

Don’t worry. He’s definitely not going to not be staying forever. Maybe.

I think it's more that they knew more then they could report at the time but still had an obligation to start hinting at what was going on.

Right and that would make people wanting to talk him about confidential stuff, get spooked That is something that's annoyed me during all this, too. Like, it'd be easier to just not report on anything at all until you have more so you can go "Well, this happened and this happened because it lead to this and my sources were able to let me in with more" and we wouldn't be dealing with all this now. Again, it's a great case against Dave's rant about media inclusion from after All Out.

It's Regal.
If he managed a "3 year contract unless HHH takes power in WWE" subclause would any of us be surprised?
Regals been one of the highlights in AEW this year, but it's clear where his heart lies. And he'd never have been in AEW if it wasn't for some nutty old man firing him for no reason from his dream job. Now that nutty old man has been replaced by one of his oldest friends.

I mean, I don't see what Regal would do in WWE would be different than he would for AEW but that's just me. Like, I'm fine with it, just that this whole situation has been messy reporting wise. How did we get a year to 3 years to 10 months? In WWE, he’d be a backstage power player, probably the leader in talent scouting and development and like others have mentioned he could be involved with NXT Europe and with his son’s career. That seems vastly different than his role with AEW. Is he anything officially besides an on-air talent?

It should be noted that the 3 year thing brought up by Meltzer was him only referencing interviews that Regal did after he signed where I guess Regal had said that. Doesn’t seem like it was something Meltzer had heard from the inside.

Blackpool Combat Club should have been a dominant and great stable.
Instead it got in a cluster**** storyline that dragged on and on.

It feels like the only thing Regal did was feud with the JAS, eat hot chip, sexually harass Excalibur and get killed.

Update: William Regal is on a toe rub deal, much more than a handshake but still not in writing

Might have actually redeemed that era of WWE.
