A recent backstage update sheds light on William Regal’s return to WWE TV and its potential impact on his son, WWE NXT Heritage Cup Champion Charlie Dempsey.
Regal, a wrestling legend and former NXT General Manager, made a rare TV appearance at NXT Roadblock on March 5, portrayed as Mr. Regal.
After a stint in AEW in 2022, Regal returned to WWE in January 2023 but remained largely unseen on WWE TV throughout the year, reportedly due to a clause in his AEW release.
However, in 2024, Regal has made sporadic returns, notably appearing in a backstage segment when Ava was named the new NXT GM and later at Roadblock, where he delivered a promo alongside his son Charlie Dempsey and the No Quarter Catch Crew.
A recent update from Fightful Select provides insight into Regal’s return and its implications for Dempsey. Despite not being listed for the segment backstage, Regal’s words in the promo are expected to significantly influence Dempsey’s trajectory in the coming weeks.
Fightful reports that Regal’s emphasis on the significance of the Heritage Cup in the promo will likely be pivotal for Dempsey moving forward.
As a trusted figure in the wrestling industry, Regal’s endorsement of the Heritage Cup adds weight to its prestige and importance within NXT.
Furthermore, Regal’s return to WWE TV signals a potential resurgence in his involvement in his son’s career. While he may not have been listed for the segment, Regal’s presence alone carries significant symbolic value, especially alongside his son in a televised promo.
For Dempsey, the endorsement and support from his father, coupled with the backing of such a respected veteran in the wrestling industry, could provide a boost to his confidence and momentum as the NXT Heritage Cup Champion.
As the storyline unfolds, fans can expect to see how Regal’s words resonate with Dempsey and potentially shape his journey in NXT.
The dynamic between father and son adds a layer of depth to Dempsey’s character development, offering fans a compelling narrative to follow in the weeks to come.
WrestleTalk remains committed to providing further updates on Regal’s future on WWE TV and the evolving storyline involving Charlie Dempsey.
