Regal wrote on Twitter today, “I’m incredibly sorry, but I have to return to the U.S. to take care of some final details of my recent neck surgery that couldn’t be avoided any longer. Again, I’m sorry that I cannot continue with the current tour, but I’ll be back in 2016 to @WWENXT.”
The two has two shows left, an event tonight in Cardiff, Wales, and the live Takeover special on the WWE Network tomorrow at 3 p.m. Eastern from London’s SSE Wembley Arena.
Regal was also scheduled for a talk show on Thursday in Nottingham, that has been canceled.
