WWE has released William Regal, Dave Kapoor (a/k/a Ranjin Singh), Ryan Katz, Scott Armstrong, and Chris Guy (a/k/a Ace Steel), according to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful.com.

Powell’s POV: I’ve been worried about Regal’s status with the company ever since they stopped featuring him as the on-air general manager of the NXT brand. Kapoor has been with WWE for many years and was the Senior Vice President of the creative team at one point. Armstrong worked as a longtime referee and producer, and his brother Brian “Road Dogg” James was also part of today’s cuts, as previously noted. Guy partnered with Danny Dominion to train a number of wrestlers in Chicago, including CM Punk and Colt Cabana. Katz was known as GQ Money on the independent scene and has worked for WWE since 2015.

  1. Once upon a time NXT was, easily, the best wrestling product on the planet.
    How far the mighty fall.

  2. Nick Kahn and his bean counters can go F#%€ themselves.

    Up until now I’ve said ok business is business. But Regal is a loyal as they make them. This is just $h!tty

  3. Hell, forget the fact that Regal is loyal. He’s probably the best pantomime in wrestling history. Wouldn’t you want him around to work with all of these green ass college athletes who have no experience in pro wrestling? Anyone can learn how to do some moves, but knowing how to put a match together and how to perform are a totally different story. I can’t think of many people more qualified to teach newbies than Bill Regal.

  4. I don’t know why any releases surprise me anymore, but this one did. Very disappointing. Nobody is safe, I guess. Jeff Hardy had the right idea. Get himself released before they do it themselves.

  5. This!!

  6. I dont get it.
    Regal especially is a bloody legend who can probably do anything in wrestling. 🙁

  7. Business is business until it happens to one of your favorites, huh?

    Don’t feel sorry for you after coming on here just to marginalize everyone else’s pain when they were sad about other releases.

  8. I wonder how many of these NXT decisions are being made by Shawn Michaels now that he’s running the show?
