William Regal witnessed Triple H’s talent for putting together good matches firsthand in NXT and recently discussed it on his podcast. On the latest Gentleman Villain podcast, Regal, who was the on-air GM and talent scout for NXT, discussed how Triple H would be able to put together good matches because he had a “excellent eye” for the job.
“Triple H had an excellent eye for putting the right people with the right people,” Regal said. “And if you’ve got that eye, then you know who to put on with who, and you know that they’re both good pros, and you can add little bits to it; it helps.”
He added that while he was involved in meetings for laying out the creative for NXT, Triple H’s skill at planning it out left him feeling “like a spare part.” He noted, “He’s got all this stuff, and it’s laid out in his head. It’s 20 steps [ahead] of anything I can think of.” Regal admitted that he’d have “[a] little say on certain things” but didn’t feel he really needed to chime in. “He knows who to put with who to get the right result.”
Regal was released from WWE in January of 2022 and is now of course working in AEW.
