When was William Regal’s last WWE NXT appearance?

William Regal made an unannounced appearance on WWE NXT tonight. The former Intercontinental Champion appeared in a pre-taped segment during the show. Tonight was his first appearance on the show in years.

The last upload from WWE NXT YouTube featuring Regal dropped on September 13, 2021. The pre-taped segment supposedly made it to the very first episode of NXT 2.0 the following night. In the segment, the veteran can be seen announcing a fatal-four way match to determine the fate of the NXT Championship.

William Regal was the on-screen General Manager of WWE NXT during the brand’s Black and Gold Era. The former Intercontinental Champion gave fans many iconic moments during his time on the show. However, he was released from his contract on January 5, 2022.

The former Man’s Man would make his AEW debut at Revolution 2022 two months later. He’d show up following Bryan Danielson and Jox Moxley’s match to mediate a truce between his former students. The angle led to the formation of the Blackpool Combat Club.
