Ranking Every WWE To AEW Move From Worst To Best

11. William Regal

Seeing everyone from Samoa Joe to Karrion Kross be suddenly given their WWE marching orders over the last year or so was a bit shocking, sure. But few departures felt quite as foolish as the call to boot Triple H's one-time partner in crime William Regal out of the NXT system in January.

Wasting next to no time showing just how much he still had to offer as a presence within the wrestling business, the formidable Brit debuted to the sound of appreciative roars at Revolution, banging Bryan Danielson and Jon Moxley's heads together en-route to establishing the unstoppable Blackpool Combat Club.

His never dull performances on commentary, providing glorious insight and additional nuance to the action going in-between the ropes, combined with his worth backstage in training up those who wish to take in his invaluable lessons make Regal perhaps one of the wisest acquisitions in recent AEW history.
