During the March 10, 2026, episode of WWE NXT, Charlie Dempsey turned on his tag team partner Tavion Heights in a match against Lexis King and Uriah Connors, aligning with the Birthright stable after signals from his father William Regal and Fit Finlay. The betrayal allowed Birthright to secure the victory, marking Dempsey as the newest member of the group of second-generation wrestlers. This event unfolded at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.
The WWE NXT episode on March 10, 2026, featured a pivotal tag team match between Tavion Heights and Charlie Dempsey against Lexis King and Uriah Connors of the Birthright stable. Birthright, consisting of second-generation stars including King, Connors, TNA Knockouts Champion Arianna Grace, and Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo, had been recruiting Dempsey—the son of WWE Hall of Famer and former NXT General Manager William Regal—for several weeks. Dempsey, previously part of the No Quarter Catch Crew with Heights, had rejected their offer at NXT Vengeance Day and instead agreed to team with Heights for this bout.
As the match progressed, with Dempsey and Heights outside the ring, William Regal and Fit Finlay—another Hall of Famer and father of Connors—appeared at the entranceway. Sources describe Regal and Finlay giving a signal, prompting Dempsey to blindside Heights with a suplex, identified as a German suplex in some reports. This turn allowed Connors to deliver a Shining Wizard or running knee strike to Heights back in the ring, followed by King's finisher, The Coronation, for the pinfall victory while Dempsey remained outside.
Post-match, Dempsey traded glances with Regal and Finlay before sliding into the ring to pose with Birthright, officially joining the group. On social media, Finlay shared a photo of himself and Regal with the stable, captioning it: “well, who would have thought! @WWENXT just changed. You need this, yet you recoil from it.” The event highlights ongoing storylines of legacy and betrayal in NXT, with no reported contradictions across accounts.
