Tuesday night’s episode of “NXT” was an enormous day for wrestling fans who like seeing William Regal on their TV screen. The previous WWE Intercontinental Champion was seen walking to the ring alongside long-time rival Fit Finlay, with the duo’s appearance resulting in Regal’s son, Charlie Dempsey, turning on former ally Tavion Heights and grow to be the latest member of the Birthright stable, consisting of Finlay’s son Uriah Connors, Stacks, Arianna Grace, and Lexis King.
Because it seems, it had been the primary time Regal had been around anything WWE related in a hot minute. PWInsider Elite reports that Regal has been off the road for a while, after working on the WWE important roster in a behind-the-scenes capability. As such, Regal’s appearance on “NXT” last night wasn’t just the primary time he had been across the Performance Center in recent memory, but his first WWE appearance of any sort since leaving the road.
Which may be changing because of Dempsey’s inclusion within the Birthright stable, nonetheless, because the expectation with WWE is that each Regal and Finlay shall be appearing usually on “NXT” following last night’s angle. A post-show photo featuring Regal and Finlay with Connors, Dempsey, Grace, King, and Stacks backstage would appear to support that the 2 UK wrestling legends shall be around to a point.
If that’s the case, it’s going to be the primary time Regal has appeared usually on a wrestling TV show since he was in AEW in 2023. The Blackpool native was instrumental within the formation of the Blackpool Combat Club stable, consisting of Bryan Danielson, Claudio Castagnoli, Jon Moxley, and Wheeler Yuta. The group has since morphed into the Death Riders, with Moxley, Castagnoli, and Yuta all still a part of the stable.
