William Regal Denies Claims He Was “Snaking Out Competition” While in AEW

In response to a recent fan comment on Twitter, William Regal denied claims that he was “snaking out competition” in favor of WWE while he was in AEW.

A fan had told Regal “Thank you for everything you did for NXT and also snaking out the competition (AEW).”

This led to Regal responding back stating that despite what some people may think, he went to AEW to help out the company as a request by Bryan Danielson. Regal also denied that he had called Tony Khan to not extend his contract while Khan’s mother was recovering from a stroke and it was Khan who had called him instead but he ended the call as soon as he realized what was going on and talked to Khan two weeks later.

“FYI. Although it serves some people’s agenda, and having a massive amount of people who work in AEW that can only back me up, I went to AEW to help because Bryan Danielson asked me to. Please find me one person who can say otherwise. I arrived at 10 am until 6.15 pm ( est) to train anyone who wanted to come, apart from going to the rest room and refilling my water container, I never attended a single production meeting ( as I knew, if I were to stay there) I needed people to realize I was only there to help. Nor did I ask a single question about anybody that works there’s contract status. I helped at the ring with what any of the talent needed. I showered and got into a suit by 6.30 then watched he monitor with everyone else. I’m giving you the right to ask anyone who works backstage or talent the right to ask them if I did anything but help with no agenda. Feel free. I also didn’t call Tony when his Mom was ill. He called me and as soon as he told me where he was I ended the phone call and we spoke 2 weeks later. FYI, my deal was up in December ‘28. That’s when I left. These are all facts I can prove. Anyone trying to twist this has the right to check this out. I am friendly with 60% + of the talent and backstage crew. Feel free to do some real research.”
