Report: William Regal to have vice president role with WWE
William Regal will reportedly have a vice president role in WWE when he returns to the company early next year.
According to a report from PWInsider, Regal and WWE have finalized a deal that will see him return to the company the first week of January. Regal will be a vice president with the company although his actual job title has not yet been revealed. Regal’s previous title with the company had been WWE Director of Talent Development and Head of Global Recruiting.
Tony Khan revealed on the pre-ROH Final Battle media call that AEW was not picking up the renewal option on his contract at Regal’s request. Regal told Khan he was hoping to return to WWE where he could be involved in the training of his son, NXT’s Charlie Dempsey.
“Basically, he’s got a son who works at another wrestling promotion and he really wanted us at the end of the year when we had the option to renew the contract, he was asking that we would not. Nothing bad, we were having a great time working together but that this was an opportunity for him to go back and work in his golden years of his career with his son.”
