CM Punk Involved in 2022 Backstage Incident With William Regal – A recent report from Bodyslam.net has shed light on another backstage incident involving CM Punk and William Regal in the aftermath of Regal’s debut at AEW Revolution back in 2022.
According to the report, the exchange was more than just a casual greeting. When Punk had the opportunity to shake hands with Regal, he opted not to, conveying his lack of trust. Moreover, Punk reportedly raised suspicions about Regal’s potential connections to Triple H, speculating whether Regal could be a potential informer for the WWE executive.
William Regal made a memorable debut in All Elite Wrestling at AEW Revolution 2022, receiving a thunderous ovation from the audience. His stint with the company extended throughout the year, during which he played a pivotal role in establishing the Blackpool Combat Club, one of AEW’s most formidable stables that continues to exert its influence today. This marked a significant addition to AEW’s roster, as Regal’s wealth of experience and knowledge found a warm reception among the talent.
However, as the year 2022 drew to a close, Regal was granted an early release from his AEW contract by Tony Khan, allowing him to make a surprising return to WWE. Regal cited a desire to collaborate with his son as the motivating factor behind this move, marking the next chapter in his storied wrestling career.
CM Punk’s firing from the promotion this past Saturday marked the culmination of an intense history of backstage drama during his time with the company.
