4 Most Likely General Manager Candidates For WWE Raw & SmackDown

William Regal's kayfabe General Manager role in NXT gives him one of the greatest track records in WWE GM history. If we're basing things on NXT's development as a brand, he has curated the signings of multiple international talents and created the hottest new wrestling product today. In WWE's land of make-believe, that's surely got to throw his name into the hat.

Regal has already spent time in both a Commissioner and General Manager role in WWE, but his time as NXT's GM has brought new life into the role. In fact, Regal has become a beloved character despite most of his WWE tenure being spent as a brooding heel.

Despite his good guy persona, Regal has demonstrated the polish and authority required to run a brand during backstage segments and promos on NXT, clearly proving his worth. Regal has served as a trainer at the WWE Performance Center since the unfortunate passing of Dusty Rhodes, where he is clearly flourishing as demonstrated by the talented up-and-comers NXT is producing. However, an on-screen role in a much larger capacity would be a great fit for him, especially under the watch of Shane McMahon.

Considering his assumed working relationship with Triple H at NXT, it's easy to make the connection between Steph and William Regal. The pairing could also offer a unique aspect to the role, diverting from the assumed heel-heel, face-face Commissioner-GM relationships predicted to play out.
