The Return of William Regal
Various rumors were rife about William Regal coming back to the ring of WWE because it had been enough time since he left AEW. As the last stronghold of NXT, it was certainly proper that he regained his position in a brand that had long been guarded by him.
Ava Takes the Helm
With a shocking turn, this week’s episode of NXT reveals the new leader as none other than Ava. Even though Ava did not retain a high profile after the dissolution of Schism, she served Shawn Michaels as an assistant. Over time, she began to take on the duties of proclamations and also scheduling matches which eventually led her into becoming a de facto General Manager.
An Official Endorsement
With this announcement from Regal, Ava’s status as the new General Manager was now officially set in stone. Incredibly, Ava who is just 22 years of age will assume a more senior role on the NXT television. With the support from William Regal, her new position being endorsed has given more credibility, thus paving the way for an interesting phase of NXT with this leader.
