54-year-old veteran might be returning to WWE under Triple H's new regime - Reports

Upon the new regime, Triple H made several creative changes to the product and rehired superstars from the past. According to a new report, it looks like Blackpool Combat Club member William Regal will be heading back to WWE for a backstage role after leaving AEW.

Earlier this year, the old regime was dissolved after Vince McMahon retired from the company. The new leadership group, spearheaded by Triple H, began making drastic changes and rehired several superstars who were previously released. William Regal, one of the company's longest-tenured members, was one of the most prominent releases back in January.

After his departure, Regal signed with AEW and began working as an on-screen talent and became one of the founding members of the Blackpool Combat Club. According to a new report from PWInsider, it looks like there have been some rumblings within the company that hinted at William Regal's return to WWE. The report also states that Regal will be returning to the company in a backstage role rather than as an on-screen talent.

Last night, MJF attacked William Regal with a brass knuckle after introducing a new design for the AEW World Championship. It looks like the segment was designed to write Regal out of storylines before leaving AEW. Hunter and Regal are close friends and a return to WWE seems imminent.

"Tonight just wouldn't be the same without..."
