Report: William Regal AEW Contract Details Revealed

AEW

Details of William Regal’s “opt-out” clause in his AEW contract have been clarified, showing how Regal was able to leave the company early.

In the current Wrestling Observer Newsletter (subscription required), Dave Meltzer clarified the situation, saying:

“Just to clarify the William Regal leaving stuff is that WWE sources were correct that Regal did have an opt out on 2/24 but Tony Khan had an opt out on 12/22.

“So the contract did end before Regal could leave it without Khan’s permission, but Regal could have gotten out of it just two months later.”

It has previously been reported that William Regal’s return to WWE will see him take on a Vice President role in the company.

Meltzer had previously speculated on the nature of the Vice President role, suggesting that Regal has “a personal coach relationship with a lot of younger talent in AEW.”

Tony Khan recently confirmed that Regal will not be able to take on an on-screen role in WWE.

Regal recently broke his silence on his AEW departure to address the many rumors floating around.
