10 Things We Learned From William Regal On Talk Is Jericho (Part 2)

10. He Wasn’t Expecting AEW Success

Like many, Chris Jericho guessed that Regal knew he'd be a smash hit in AEW. That's not the case. The man had been in WWE so long that change was always going to require some patience, and that's why he asked Tony Khan to give him a month so he could get his "sea legs" again.

The AEW boss was only too happy to accommodate.

Jericho seemed shocked to learn that Regal didn't see the Blackpool Combat Club coming. The Brit feels "very fortunate" to be working with top talents like Jon Moxley and Bryan Danielson right out of the gate, and he's excited about the future now that young workers like Wheeler Yuta are camped out under his learning tree.

The whole AEW experience is "mind blowing" to William, and he's hungry for more. Despite being a legend, he wasn't expecting preferential treatment in his new home, but he's delighted that Khan and the entire roster have been patient with him.
