Former AEW manager and current WWE Vice President of Global Talent Relations, William Regal, has been accused by AEW President Tony Khan of using Khan’s mother’s illness as a pretext to exit his AEW contract and allegedly tampering with AEW contracts upon his return to WWE. In a recent statement on X (formerly Twitter), Regal addressed these allegations.
“While it fits some agendas, I have a lot of people at AEW who can vouch for me. I went to AEW because Bryan Danielson asked me to help,” Regal explained in response to a fan. “Find me one person who says otherwise. I was there from 10 am until 6:15 pm (EST) training anyone who wanted to come. I never attended a single production meeting. I was there purely to help, and I didn’t inquire about anyone’s contract status.”
Regal also shared that he assisted talent in the ring before shows, and afterward, donned a suit to watch the events backstage.
“I never called Tony when his mother was ill,” Regal clarified. “He called me, and once he told me his situation, I ended the call and we spoke two weeks later. For the record, my deal was up on December 28th—that’s when I left.”
