- Wie WrestlingINC berichtet, musste NXT General Manager William Regal die aktuelle NXT Live Event UK Tour abbrechen und in die USA zurückkehren. Demnach zufolge wird William Regal auch nicht beim NXT TakeOver: London Event auftreten. Grund für die plötzliche Abreise in die USA sollen die Folgen seiner jüngsten Nacken-OP sein, der er sich im Oktober 2015 unterzogen hat und wegen der er offenbar aktuell einige Probleme hat.
Via Twitter äußerte sich William Regal wie folgt:
Zitat"I'm incredibly sorry but I have had to return to the US to take care of some final details of my recent neck surgery that couldn't be avoided any longer.Again,I'm sorry that I cannot continue with the current tour but I'll be back in 2016 to @WWENXT."
