William Regal Reveals Reasons Behind Supporting Lexis King

The upcoming October 29th episode of NXT just got a major boost with the announcement that William Regal will be serving as Lexis King’s cornerman in his Heritage Cup match against Charlie Dempsey. This news comes hot off the heels of Halloween Havoc, where Regal, a former NXT General Manager, made the surprise offer to guide King for the highly anticipated bout.

Speaking in a WWE Raw Exclusive, Regal explained his decision to back Lexis King, citing both his personal connection to King’s family and his extensive experience in rounds-based competition. Regal emphasized that his deep knowledge of this unique match format makes him a valuable ally for King.

“Obviously, I watch NXT, and I saw that Lexis King needed a cornerman, and I’ve heard about him,” Regal stated. “Somebody told me he was asking for people, and I’ve had a lot of experience in rounds matches. I grew up for the first ten years of my life in this industry doing nothing but rounds matches, and I also knew Lexis’s father very, very well. So I’m always here to help.”

The match will be particularly significant for Regal, as it pits his son, Charlie Dempsey, against Lexis King. While Regal will be in King’s corner, his personal connection to both competitors adds emotional weight to the showdown. This intriguing dynamic raises the stakes for the Heritage Cup match, with fans eagerly anticipating how Regal’s presence will affect the outcome.

With William Regal in Lexis King’s corner, the October 29th episode of NXT is shaping up to be a must-see event. The mix of personal connections, Regal’s wrestling expertise, and the traditional rounds format promises to deliver a captivating story inside the ring.
