William Regal set the wrestling world on fire as he made his debut on AEW Revolution. Moreover, it turned out to be one of the most unexpected debuts in wrestling history. Regal came out of nowhere post the Bryan Danielson and Jon Moxley match. Additionally, Regal actually ended up doing something incredible, as he seemingly was able to reconcile the differences between Moxley and Danielson.
The match between Bryan and Jon was incredibly brutal. Both went at each other with all their might and gave a stellar wrestling match. Interestingly, both Moxley and Danielson were very popular wrestlers in WWE as well. In fact, they both worked their way up from WWE’s developmental brand NXT. One person who was prominent in NXT for years as a mentor and much more was William Regal.

Both wrestlers brawled with each other until Regal separated them. Regal went on to slap both wrestlers in order to get them to their senses. In a moment of respect to their past mentor, William Regal, Bryan and Moxley actually shook hands and parted ways.
