William Regal has shared details regarding his AEW departure.

Regal took to Twitter on Saturday afternoon to explain his depature from the company last year, writing that “time and time spent” was the reason for leaving.

“Time and time spent was the [reason] for my leaving, no agenda for anything else,” Regal wrote. "I have lived through some serious times in 2018/19 and realize time is all I have. I 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,” he added. “This is the last time I will mention this. Again, I would like to thank AEW for [their] gracious acceptance of me and for Tony to take me onboard.”

Regal explained that he initially told Tony Khan about leaving on a Sunday night, but when he realized Khan was dealing with his mother’s illness, he told him to get off the phone to take care of his family.

“I know Tony summed up a few conversations we had with quick [answers]. 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,” he wrote. “Then [and 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 [of] his family and he shouldn’t be talking to me [now]. I also realise he has summed up conversations with brief answers. We eventually talked about me leaving 2 weeks later in Jacksonville.”

Regal returned to WWE in January after leaving AEW the previous month. His new role in the company is Vice President of Global Talent Development.

I don't even remember the details, but Tony let him out of his contract correct? If that is the case Tony was solid for making that happen.
