The recent long-list of releases made by WWE for their developmental brand NXT has left Executive Vice President of Global Talent Strategy & Development of WWE Triple H annoyed. The company decided to let go of some of their key members which included Director of Talent Development and Head of Global Recruiting William Regal, who was also incharge of the main talent scout for the company apart from working as the General Manager for NXT, and NXT special enforcer cum talent scout Samoa Joe. The releases have largely been a part of the WWE budget cut to reconstruct the NXT since the outbreak of Covid-19.
“With the continued evolution of NXT 2.0, we’ve decided to part ways with some of the staff based in our Performance Center. We thank them for their many contributions throughout the years and wish them the best,” read their statement.
However, according to Wade Keller, former WWE superstar Triple H has not reacted positively to the releases as he wanted to have William Regal, Gabe Sapolsky and Road Dogg as a part of his team at some point.
“I’ve talked with people who had said Triple H was building his team that he would bring with him to the main roster, and if his day came to run the main roster he wanted his group of people. At some point, it was thought that it would include William Regal and Gabe Sapolsky and Road Dogg and they’re gone,” Keller was quoted as saying by wrestlingnews.co.
“NXT just isn’t what it once was. I’ve heard just a little about Triple H’s reaction to all of this and nothing super reportable other than it sounds like he’s bummed out.”

Triple H had formed a unit for the NXT which was supposed to be brought into the main roster after Vince McMahon made his way away from the brand. It should also be noted that William Regal, Gabe Sapolsky, and Road Dogg were core members of Triple H’s team. But their release has naturally impacted his morale in the locker room.
Triple H had played a key role in the transformation of NXT as the third brand for the company’s roster. The vision was set in 2013 and since then he has worked closely with plenty of stars to build-up their career ahead of the releases. It also turned out to be a win-win situation for Triple H as many knowledgeable minds came out in support of him.
