William Regal Is Alive

William Regal, one of my favorites, has been seeing more time on Raw and Smackdown lately. A lot more time. More interestingly than that, they just seemed to randomly turn him face in the process. And yet, it doesn't seem that forced.

Regal is being used as a supporting character or pawn in the bigger feud between Big Show and Sheamus. Big Show used Regal on Raw to send Sheamus a message.

Could this lead to anything more with William Regal? After this week, it can be easy to imagine him just being phased back down and out as easily as he came into this feud. But can they do something more? They don't need to develop Regal to be a contender for the World's Heavyweight Championship. It would be nice, but there are a lot of young guys who need that push. It was interesting to see the WWE develop this relationship with Regal and Sheamus. If Sheamus does not regain the title, could a regular partnership with Regal be in the works? It could give Sheamus an angle to work with. Before Sheamus entered the title scene earlier this year, all he was really doing was picking up wins. He wasn't getting any real feuds or storylines developed. Sheamus is already over and credible. Now would be the time to start giving him more creative angles to work with. A partnership with Regal could be interesting. Of course, on the other side of that, you could see Regal screw Sheamus at Survivor Series. Why would he? Because he's bitter at Sheamus not protecting him from Big Show? And that can lead to a feud between the two. It would easily give Sheamus something to do after Big Show.
