Charlie Dempsey wins NXT Heritage Cup trophy

Charlie Dempsey is the new Heritage Cup champion.

Dempsey defeated Noam Dar to win the trophy for the first time on Tuesday. The finish of the match had both participants tied at one win each. Myles Borne of the No Quarter Catch Crew posted Meta-Four member Oro Mensah, allowing Damon Kemp and Drew Gulak to attack Dar. He managed to overcome the two, but then walked into a dragon suplex by Dempsey, who then pinned Dar to win the trophy.

This ends Dar’s reign with the title after over 190 days, defeating Nathan Frazer back in June of last year. Aside from Frazer’s run as champion, Dar has held the title for the most part since July 7, 2022.

The No Quarter Catch Crew issued the challenge to Dar last week, saying that Dar wouldn’t know who he would be facing until the bell rang. Dempsey stepped up to Dar right before the match started.

Dempsey, the son of William Regal, recently competed in All Japan Pro Wrestling. He unsuccessfully challenged Katsuhiko Nakajima for the Triple Crown Championship back on January 3.
