Myles Borne is the North American Champion.
Borne defeated Ethan Page on Tuesday’s NXT to win the title for the first time. The finish had Vanity Project come out and strike Borne with one of their title belts, earning Page a nearfall. Hank & Tank then came out and brawled with Vanity Project as Ricky Saints appeared on the turnbuckle. Joe Hendry took Saints back to the floor and they brawled. Page went for the twisted grin but Borne shoved Page into the turnbuckle, which was exposed during the chaos. Borne then followed with the zig zag to pick up the victory.
Page had been champion since last May when he defeated Saints during an episode of NXT. At 273 days, he is the longest-reigning champion in the title’s history.
Recent weeks had shown Page encouraging Borne to take a different approach in his career, with Borne rejecting his advice each time. On last week’s show after Page retained the title over Shiloh Hill, Borne came with a chair for the save and helped Hill take out The Vanity Project. He then wrapped the chair around Page’s knee and demanded a title match for next week. Page agreed, but then mocked Borne saying he knew he wouldn’t follow through with the attack. Borne then stomped on the chair to end the show.
