The Wrestling Observer is reporting that Regal will address his health situation in an upcoming interview with Chris Jericho on Talk is Jericho. Regal has documented substance abuse issues that he’s been open about throughout his career.

Regal made his AEW debut at the Revolution PPV event on March 6. Regal walked to the ring as Bryan Danielson and Jon Moxley brawled in the ring after Moxley pinned Danielson in their match. Regal forced both men to shake hands and put their differences aside. This week on Dynamite, Regal accompanied Moxley and Danielson to the ring for their tag team match against The Workhorsemen. Moxley and Danielson won the match easily and after, Regal cut an in-ring promo with Tony Schiavone. Regal told Schiavone that he was appreciative of the moment and warned the AEW roster of the Moxley/Danielson team. He also spoke on the history he has with both Moxley and Danielson.

William Regal is a former champion in both WCW and the WWE. Most recently, he was the on-air General Manager for WWE’s NXT product, a role that he assumed since the beginning of NXT’s run. Regal worked with Jon Moxley in the ring during their time together in FCW. After the pivot from NXT to NXT 2.0, Regal was released from the WWE in January of this year.
