This was Regal’s first appearance on WWE TV since 2021 when he served as the General Manager for NXT. He was released by WWE in January 2022 and signed with AEW shortly after. Regal would remain with AEW though 2022, but requested his contract not be renewed so he could return to WWE to be with his son Charlie Dempsey. Regal’s request was granted, but he could not appear on television in 2023. Regal worked behind the scenes as the Vice President of Global Talent Development.
Fightful Select reported on Tuesday evening that Regal filmed a segment for the show.
