William Regal isn't from Blackpool... but he DID start his wrestling career there.

-->'''Regal:''' If you gave a hundred people a knife and told them to inflict punishment on the person that they hate the most in the world, 99% of those people would stab that person. The people in the Blackpool Combat Club wouldn't. We would cut you down the cheek because being stabbed you would forget about in six months. I prefer to think that all of us in the Blackpool Combat Club would get more pleasure out of knowing that every morning that you wake up, you're going look in the mirror, and you're going to remember us because of the scars we left on you.

* HazyFeelTurn: By the conclusion of All Out 2023, the group transitioned from heels into tweeners:
** After over two months out of action, Bryan Danielson made a surprise return on the 9/2/23 episode of ''Collision'' to sign a contract for a strap match against Ricky Starks. He did so to come to the aid of Wrestling/RickySteamboat, a man Danielson respects who Starks had beaten with his own belt.
** After Jon Moxley defeated Wrestling/OrangeCassidy to win the International Championship, the group came out to celebrate the title victory. Notably, they left Cassidy alone and the group left the arena through the right-hand side of the stage, which is typically reserved by babyfaces.

*WildCard: According to Bryan Danielson at the media scrum following ''All Out 2023'', the group has cemented themselves as this, stating that they're neither face or heel.
--> '''Danielson:''' Oh, I mean I like to think that we can straddle the line between anything. Like so...I didn't wrestle necessarily today like a good guy. I strapped Ricky Starks in the face. But...I love Ricky Steamboat, and he refereed a match between me and Low-Ki in 2001 that really helped put my career on the map. He's refereed, actually, multiple of my matches, he was a producer for the WWE when I was there. He is just a legendary figure in professional wrestling who continues to give and give and give. So, like, coming out to do this thing with him, it puts me in a good guy ''role'', but you could also see me, at the very end, stabbing somebody with a screwdriver. Right? There's nothing that's "Oh, Bryan Danielson wouldn't do that." Like, he ''might'' do that, so I think that's within the realm of our characters.

* VillainousLegacy: Regal's betrayal at ''Full Gear 2022'' left a great impact on the team even though he would leave AEW two weeks later. Mox, who suffered said betrayal firsthand, would become more aggressive in his fights with Adam Page while Castagnoli would force Yuta to fight even more ruthlessly than when he first joined the group. By March 2023, everyone in the group turned heel fully.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: As heels. The group, Bryan Danielson especially, want AEW to be the best wrestling promotion in existence, and to groom a future generation of wrestlers to better than the Club themselves. Problem is, their idea of doing so involves mercilessly beating said wrestlers within an inch of their lives and attacking them in brutal fashion.

Yuta broke away from the group Best Friends when he expressed a desire to join the BCC, resulting in a series of matches against Moxley that ultimately earned him not only the group's respect, but also formally inducted him to their ranks. Castagnoli made his AEW debut at the pay-per-view, ''Forbidden Door'', as Danielson's surprise replacement in a match against Wrestling/NewJapanProWrestling's Wrestling/ZackSabreJr Regal would leave the group by December 2022 after his AEW contract expired.

** To Wrestling/TheShield, Moxley's previous faction in the WWE. While both factions are known for their NoHoldsBarredBeatdown, the Shield was mostly a closely-knit team (until a certain betrayal) while the BCC was initially formed by two bitter rivals held together by a very influential man. Furthermore, the BCC is a heroic faction turned heel while the Shield is the opposite. In comparison to Moxley/Ambrose's role in both factions, he is clearly the face of the BCC, in contrast to his time in the Shield where Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins were favored over him.
