Multi-time Intercontinental Champion receives two-word message from Sasha Banks amid rumors of AEW debut
WWE veteran and multiple-time intercontinental champion William Regal received a tweet from Sasha Banks amid speculation about her AEW debut.
Apart from being a great technical wrestler, many fans are familiar with Regal for his tenure as the NXT General Manager from 2014 until his release in 2022. He's well-known for his behind-the-scenes efforts with young upcoming wrestlers.
From 2012 until 2015, Sasha Banks was a member of NXT, where she won the championship in 2014 and developed into the superstar we know today. Hence, it's safe to assume that The Gentleman Villain had helped The Boss during her early days.
It has been reported that Banks will appear at Wrestle Kingdom 17, the biggest NJPW event of the year. Most fans think she will participate in the IWGP Women's Championship match, probably as the next challenger after KAIRI and Tam Nakano's title bout.
It has also been speculated that she will appear on the AEW Dynamite on January 11 as Saraya's mystery partner. Earlier today, the former RAW Women's Champion sent tweets thanking William Regal, Triple H, Vince McMahon, and the WWE Universe.
"Thank you @RealKingRegal," Banks tweeted
Thank you @RealKingRegal
Since leaving Raw in May last year, The Boss and her former tag team partner Naomi haven't appeared on any WWE shows. It was reported that she was released from her contract.
Meanwhile, after taking over as WWE's Head of Creative last summer, Triple H brought back a ton of talent that had been cut loose in 2022, including Regal, who will reunite with The Game this year.
