Could William Regal finally lace up his boots one more time? Josh Barnett isnt ruling it outand hes made it clear the ball is in Regals court.
During a recent appearance on Ringsiders Wrestling, Barnett revealed hes had conversations with the former NXT GM about potentially stepping into the Bloodsport ring. While Regal hasnt competed since 2013, his presence in pro wrestling hasnt fadedserving as a key figure in AEWs Blackpool Combat Club and appearing regularly on TV.
Barnett didnt mince words about leaving the decision completely up to Regal. You think I havent had some conversations with William Regal about, If you should feel spry. You know he said. He then made it clear that whatever Regal wants, its done.
I say the ball is in his court, not as like a challenge or anything like that. Its just, hes the boss here. If he tells me its time, done. If he says, Eh, Im better off spectating. Done. Whatever he wants, hes correct. Thats the way I see it.
While Regal hasnt hinted at a return, his connection to Bloodsport isnt random. Hes been spotted attending several events over the years, supporting a unique brand of no-ropes, submission-heavy wrestling that fits his style.
And theres also a family tiehis son, Charlie Dempsey, has been making waves in the Bloodsport scene and is booked to face Shinya Aoki during WrestleMania 41 weekend. That family presence could be just the nudge Regal needs.
For now, its all speculation. But if William Regal decides to to he wants to go, it sounds like Josh Barnett will have a spot ready.
