Report: William Regal To Rejoin WWE As A Vice President

William Regal's return to WWE is set. 

Mike Johnson of PWInsider reported that The Gentleman Villain has officially agreed to terms on his new role in the company. Regal will be back in WWE in a Vice President role, although what his official title will be is currently unknown. Regal is set to restart with WWE in the first week of January. 

Regal has since disputed the report, though, tweeting: "There's seems to be a lot of news about me getting spread around. There's enough people who really know me (although they are few as trust is a big issue with me) who know the truth. Unless you hear it from me directly it is at best second hand information…..….unless you hear it directly from ME it is either wrong or someone's interpretation of what is really going on. And that means EVERYTHING that is being said about me from every 'source'. That goes for ANYONE SAYING they have spoken or know me. A still tongue keeps a wise head!"

Regal previously spent 22 years in WWE from 2000 until his release in January 2022. At the time of his release, Regal was Director of Talent Development and Head of Global Recruiting. He has spent much of 2022 with All Elite Wrestling but Tony Khan announced he would not renew Regal's contract so he could return to WWE and work with his son Charlie Dempsey.
