During a Q&A at For The Love of Wrestling (via Monopoly Events), William Regal came up in the conversation, and Benjamin was asked whether he had met his son, Charlie Dempsey.

“Not only have I met him, I actually wrestled him a couple months ago [on Main Event]. He’s great. I worked with Charlie Dempsey, some of the other newer guys like Damon Kemp. Dempsey, he’s great. He’s gonna be so good," Benjamin.

Dempsey is now the reigning NXT Heritage Cup Champion, and he is a member of No Quarter Catch Crew.
