WWE Hall of Famer and current NXT commentator Booker T recently shared his insight on the responsibilities of William Regal, the Vice President of Global Talent Development in WWE. During a recent episode of Hall of Fame, a fan asked Booker T about Regal’s job description, and although he didn’t reveal explicit details, he provided a look into Regal’s current activities.
Booker T recounted a recent encounter with Regal during an NXT show, where he had the opportunity to catch up with the legendary wrestler. Regal returned to WWE in 2023 after a brief stint in All Elite Wrestling (AEW), where he formed the Blackpool Combat Club with Bryan Danielson, Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, and Wheeler Yuta.
Regal’s role in WWE is multifaceted, and Booker T’s comments suggest that he is heavily involved in talent development. As the Vice President of Global Talent Development, Regal plays a crucial role in identifying, recruiting, and nurturing new talent within WWE. His extensive experience in the wrestling industry, spanning over three decades, makes him an invaluable asset to the company.
Booker T’s comments come at a time when tensions between WWE and AEW are running high. AEW owner Tony Khan has been taking shots at WWE since AEW’s inception in 2019, and his recent comparison of WWE to Harvey Weinstein sparked outrage among WWE stars, including Booker T. The Hall of Famer expressed his desire to confront Khan over his comments, adding fuel to the ongoing feud between the two promotions.
It remains to be seen how Khan will react to Booker T’s comments, but one thing is certain – the rivalry between WWE and AEW is far from over. As the two promotions continue to compete for talent and viewers, personalities like Regal and Booker T will play a vital role in shaping the future of professional wrestling.
In related news, Regal’s last appearance on WWE TV was during the NXT Roadblock event in March 2024, where his son, Charlie Dempsey, won the NXT Heritage Cup. The event marked a triumphant return for Regal, who has been instrumental in shaping the careers of several WWE superstars. As he continues to work behind the scenes, his impact on the wrestling world is undeniable, and his role in WWE is more crucial than ever.
