This is very true, just lean into it. Maybe it’s an IP-making money thing. Like the name “John Cena.” #NXT #DavidFinlay #FitFinlay #BrianPillmanJr #DRAWgulag
There is no reason why Charlie Dempsey can't be called Charlie Regal now, no reason Lexis King can't be called Brian Pillman Jr now, Uriah Connors as Uriah Finlay or whatever now. The group is literally called "Birthright" and they acknowledge their fathers on screen. C'mon WWE!

#AEW #DavidFinlay #FitFinlay Fit Finlay has reacted to comments from his son David Finlay on why he signed with AEW over WWE following his NJPW departure. David Finlay’s contract with New Japan Pro Wrestling expired in February, with speculation about where he may land following orted interest from both WWE and AEW. Finlay would end up signing with AEW, making his official debut on last week’s episode of AEW Dynamite, helping Gabe Kidd and Clark Connors fight off Orange Cassidy and Darby Allin. It was reported following his AEW signing that WWE had pitched for Finlay to join the NXT brand and lead the Birthright faction if he signed with the company, the group which includes his brother Uriah Connors. Speaking on why he chose to sign with AEW over WWE, Finlay noted that he had never drawn any money with his brother of father, but had drawn money with Gabe Kidd and Clark Connors. He said: “Obviously I’ve got family ties in another company, and I sat and thought about it and was like ‘I’ve never made a dime with my brother, never made a dime with my father, I’ve made fat stacks of cash with [Gabe Kidd & Clark Connors]’. So the choice was easy.” “My dad’s greatest accomplishment is that I came out of his nut sack. That’s the greatest thing he ever accomplished.” This prompted a response from Fit Finlay, who would instead brand Uriah Connors as his ‘greatest accomplishment’, asking David to change his name. He said: Maybe @THEdavidfinlay your Brother, Brogan FINLAY @WWE_URIAH is my greatest accomplishment, he had to change his name, I suggest you go ahead and change yours! And those runts you hang out with… put the down! Finlay and William Regal both made their returns to NXT television on this week’s show, which saw Charlie Dempsey betray Tavion Heights to join the Birthright.

#WWENXT #WilliamRegal #FitFinlay Two WWE legends appeared on tonight’s episode of NXT airing on the CW Network as another new faction member was confirmed. Over the past few weeks and months, Lexis King has been recruiting new names to his faction named Birthright, with the idea up of second or multi generational wrestlers. Already in the group were King who is the son of Brian Pillman, Uriah Connors who is the son of Fit Finlay, Arianna Grace who is the son of Santino Marella, and Channing ‘Stacks’ Lorenzo who qualifies as an in-law as he and Grace are engaged. The next potential new member that King was targeting was Charlie Dempsey, who is the son of William Regal. Tonight’s WWE NXT played host to a tag match with King and Connors teaming up against Dempsey and Tavion Heights. During the match, William Regal and Fit Finlay came out onto the stage, and when Dempsey looked at them, he turned on Heights and attacked him. This allowed Birthright’s King and Connors to pick up the win, with Dempsey joining them in the ring for their celebration after, officially joining the group.
