Jon Moxley pays homage to William Regal on AEW Dynamite

This past week on Dynamite, Jon Moxley seemingly paid homage to a former member of The Black Pool Combat Club, William Regal.

The Elite faced The Dark Order on last week's Dynamite in a trios match in which The Elite were victorious. Immediately after the match, The Black Pool Combat Club rushed to the ring and attacked The Elite.

Following the beatdown, the former AEW World Champion grabbed a microphone to make a challenge to The Elite at Blood & Guts. While doing so, Moxley seemingly paid homage to current WWE personality William Regal.

"And just like someone once said, Blood & Guts," Jon Moxley said. [00:11 - 00:14]

William Regal has made a name for himself as the one to be announcing War Games matches in NXT. The former AEW personality also announced the Blood & Guts match for The Black Pool Combat Club last year. The match will occur on July 19 inside TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts.
