A WWE veteran showcased his frustrations over a recent turn of events. He even walked away during a recent show.

William Regal made a surprising appearance on WWE NXT a couple of months ago and agreed to be in Lexis King's corner in his Heritage Cup match against Charlie Dempsey on the October 29 episode of the black and silver brand. During the match, Regal offered his brass knuckles to Lexis who refused to use it. After Lexis lost the bout, Regal was visibly disappointed.

Despite this, he agreed to be in King's corner again last week for his second shot at the Heritage Cup. Again, William Regal offered his brass knuckles and King refused to use it. However, this time, the former NXT GM punched King in the face in frustration, which sent the brass knuckles in the ring towards Dempsey. Charlie picked it up and the referee disqualified him, thinking he had used the brass knuckles.

Tonight on WWE NXT, Regal, King, and Dempsey were in Ava's office to discuss what happened last week. When the NXT GM tried to speak to Regal, he told her he didn't want to get involved and walked away.

It looks like William Regal is finally done with trying to help Lexis King win and has decided to stay out of his business.

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
