William Regal Addresses AEW Backstage Drama Reports

William Regal has addressed the backstage drama reports in AEW.

As of late, All Elite Wrestling has been in the headlines for several backstage drama reports with various stars, including CM Punk, Hangman Page, Thunder Rosa, Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. and more.

Speaking on the latest edition of the Gentleman Villain podcast, William Regal discussed the recent reports of backstage drama.

He said:

“There’s always a lot going on with us. We’ve talked talked about on this show before. We are trying to do our bit to change the views of some people, and younger talent.

Sometimes there’s things that play out on the show, but in reality, there’s the fact that we understand there’s a lot of young talent and they don’t get to wrestle better wrestlers, or people who have been in this for a long time, because the way the job has become, and the way TV is. A lot of the best wrestlers wrestle each other now.”

Regal continued on to explain why he stays out of the drama and can’t really speak on the reports, saying:

“I can’t say too much at the moment. I’m not a gossip merchant and I’m not going to dignify anything that comes out. Nothing seems to happen around me, I’ll put it that way. I know that myself.. Jon’s Jon, and that’s the way he is. But, I know myself, Claudio, Bryan and Wheeler, are all doing our thing. Hopefully it spreads, and as far as trying to be the best professionals we can be, that’s all you can do, and do whatever we’re tasked with.”

The AEW star concluded by explaining his focus as the leader of the Blackpool Combat Club, saying:

“We’ve got a great team of talent and we want to make people have to face people in the BCC. and we are also hoping that it sets sort of standards of how to conduct yourself, and .. this is sort of in reality, just how to conduct yourself as a pro, and not. Let’s put it that way.”

William Regal was released from WWE in January 2022 before signing with All Elite Wrestling in March. He immediately aligned himself with Jon Moxley and Bryan Danielson in the Blackpool Combat Club.

After a series of matches against the group, Wheeler Yuta joined the BCC. Then, at Forbidden Door, Claudio Castagnoli became the newest member of the faction.

The Blackpool Combat Club has collected quite a few titles with Moxley the reigning AEW World Champion, Castagnoli the ROH World Champion and Yuta the ROH Pure Champion.
