Didn't Regal recently say he's under contract with AEW for a couple more years? HHH traded SKRYPTZ, the rights to Baby Gargano, and a wrestler to be named later for William Regal.
Real talk, though, I do hope the two companies worked something out instead of Regal just being like "Welp, my old job's back. Bye."

He'll finally be back with his beloved War Games. Just in time for the next one, in… a little under a year. (Missed it by THAT much)

Lets gooooooooooooo!
With HBK GM’ing NXT more-or-less wonder if he’ll be an on-screen guy still or just he HHH’s right hand man. He still has a lot to give in-screen even if it’s just a small role.

I dare say had HHH taken charge sooner that Regal would never have been gone from WWE.
Samoa Joe is another guy who I believe would still be with WWE right now had the above happened.
I've enjoyed the Regal and MJF stuff. Not sure what is left for him to do in WWE.

Honestly sucks, he was killing it in AEW and I feel like he just got there If he's under contract for a few years he had to have some clause to get out of it with HHH getting back into power. I hope whatever he does though, he continues to kill it. I guess it's possible he just went to Tony and asked, and Tony respected him enough to say ok. Regal's great, but no one would be tuning in just to see him at this point. May as well show some deference, and that sort of treatment of someone as generally well liked and regarded as Regal will go a long way with a lot of people.

Not that AEW runs many house shows to my knowledge but he was doing NXT which was basically entirely based in Florida save for a few specials, and also scouting for talent. Not being on Television weekly in a completely different state.

I hope he does come back. Vince and his father had they loved who helped the company in various ways like Gorilla, Pat, Blassie, James Dudley, Jay Strongbow and others. I hope Paul has some guys he can rely on who will help him build some glory years for WWE. I never knew the relationship between the two as I never saw Regal and him in WCW as a team but I do believe he has a spot in his heart for him from when he was first starting. Wasn't Regal the one who told him go to WWF since they would be able to make him a star? To me, Regal was just a new toy for Tony. He's got new ones since so if he was OK with Regal going, it's not a surprise. As much as I disliked Triple H in the past I do think he has more years of loyalty to some guys than Tony does.

Him coming back as the Patterson to HHH's Vince makes a lot of sense Who's gonna be Brisco then?

Not really surprised. There was no bad blood he was just an idiotic cap casualty and him and HHH have forged a long time relationship
If he signed a long term deal he most likely asked TK for his release if anything

Dave Meltzer: He's under contract to AEW for 3 years, but...he's also finishing up, and he's also WWE bound...and also also the AEW Regal isn't the real William Regal, it's Billiam Seagull! Who is also the real William Regal! Also he's staying in AEW, and he's also going to WWE...also CM Punk wants his release, but also he doesn't want his release, Parker Boudreaux, CM Punk inhaled Oxygen last tuesday, Kenny Omega ate lunch that day as well. But this just reminds me of a story about how Dick the Bruiser sent the Blackjacks to Memphis. Fixed it to be more Meltzery. Now it's more Mad Meltz.

It's absurd that they released him in the first place. Now that The living god, King og kings, name above all names papa H is in charge all is forgiven, all wrongs have been righted
