William Regal wants to clarify how his AEW exit went down.
William Regal left AEW last year, with his last segment within the company being MJF clocking him from behind. He would soon leave the company after negotiating his release from the company with Tony Khan. Regal will not be able to appear on WWE TV until next year after re-signing with WWE, as part of his deal to exit AEW.
Regal discussed his release from the company on Saturday in a series of tweets.
Just so anyone who wants to know the truth. I know Tony summed up a few conversations we had with quick answer. FYI, Tony called me at 9 pm on a Sunday night and I discussed my reasons for leaving were time spent where I won’t to be. Then and I only then did he tell me where he was and what problems he was having. I told him to get off the phone and take care off his family and he shouldn’t be talking to me know. I also realise he has summed up conversations with brief answers.
We eventually talked about me leaving 2 weeks later in Jacksonville. Time and time spent was the reasons for my leaving, no agenda for anything else. I have lived through some serious times in 2018/19 and realize time is all. I have had a great time in AEW and are thankful for the time I spent there with many of my close friends and the amazing crew. I just want to make that public so people stop misinterpreting it. It’s sad that people in our job can’t realize that you can be a decent human being without having an agenda or taking advantage. This is the last time I will mention this. Again, I would like to thank AEW for there gracious acceptance of me and for Tony to take me onboard.
And just so you know, there’s a few spelling mistakes in my last tweets but I spent too much time at school daydreaming of being a Pro Wrestler. Aew we’re very kind to me and I enjoyed my time there. I made the most of my time there and NEVER double crossed anyone.

William Regal has put to rest any speculation about his AEW exit in this statement, but many fans will still blame him for exiting AEW when he did. We will have to wait and see how WWE will use him once his non compete expires next year.
