Yes, they are one in the same. He actually went by Stephen throughout his career until when he came back to WWE the second time (first time he was the "real man's man Stephen Regal) there were already too many Steves mainly --Steve Austin and Steven Richards so they decided to have him go by William Regal instead.

They are the same person. The name Steven Regal was chosen from an American wrestling magazine article in which former AWA star "Mr. Electricity" Steve Regal was profiled. His name in his second WWE stint was Steven William Regal, later shortened to William Regal as a tribute to his grandfather, Bill Matthews, a former pro wrestler in the UK. In addition, he wrestled as Roy Regal and under his real name at the beginning of his career.

He used the gimmick Lord Steven Regal on WCW, then when he moved to WWE, they made him William Regal. Yup, he's the same guy.

Hi,
They are the same one, but he might have three names... like Stephan William Regal or something like that...

Yes, his real name is Darrin Matthews and he used two different wrestling names, one in WCW and the WWE. I know because I read his book that was published last year and it was a really good book to read.
