William Regal Asked Tony Khan Not To Pick Up The Option On His AEW Contract

William Regal personally asked AEW not to pick up the option on his contract.

Earlier today, Tony Khan held his Ring Of Honor Final Battle media call. He had promised beforehand to address William Regal’s status and that he did. During the call, Tony was asked several times about Regal’s status and how his contract worked. During his explanation, Tony would divulge that Regal had personally asked Megha Parekh, who is AEW’s chief legal officer, not to pick up the option on his contract with AEW as he wanted to return to WWE to work with his son.

He said Regal called Megha and asked that they would not pick up the option when it came up at the end of the year.

Regal has now left the company, as Tony Khan would honor his request. Regal is expected to return to WWE in the new year.
