“It’s very fitting that Mr. Regal is the first person we see in the first ever WWE ID video,” wrote Gabe Sapolsky in response to the video.
Mathers has been a regular with Game Changer Wrestling since April 2021. He’s also wrestled twice for AEW this year. He teamed with Joe Keys in a loss to The Beast Mortos and Roderick Strong on an episode of Rampage in September and lost to EJ Nduka in a dark match in June.
