15-time Champion says he barely talks with WWE EVP Triple H
NXT GM William Regal recently appeared on the latest edition of Inside The Ropes. Regal opened up on his relationship with WWE EVP Triple H and revealed that the duo don't talk much.
“It’s a weird thing that we have. We barely talk. There will be people - we’re closer than, you can’t even say friends or whatever it is. There’s a different bond between us that’s hard to explain and he knows it as well so... he’s got people he’ll say are his best friends and Robbie Brookside is my best friend. I don’t have to know what he’s thinking and he’s so far advanced on my thinking which is why I sit like a little pup because I go, ‘I would’ve never thought of that in a million years or thought that was possible.”
