Milesborn sent waves through the world of wrestling when he unexpectedly won a 25-man battle royal to secure a shot at Obafemi’s NXT Championship at Battlegrounds. Opening in the “WWE NXT” edition on Tuesday, Borne was open about his victory as a person living with hearing loss and his experience before defending his number one candidate against Ethan Page.
“I think the most important thing about Miles that Miles boned last night was that he pulled himself away from the pack in the sense that ‘I’m not this Randy Orton clone, I’m Milesborn’,” Tommy Dreamer discussed the promo on “Bust Open Radio.” “He was very open and honest.”
Dreamer also recalled how, in his promotion through his ability to make connections with fans with disabilities, Borne was able to separate himself from other stars on the “NXT” roster, recalling Bornning’s thoughts as a breakout star during the early integration of TNA wrestling and “NXT.”
“I thought his promotion was genuinely beautiful. It was amazing. When Ethan Page stopped, when fans started “He can’t hear you,” I said, “Yes! That’s a shirt!” It’s a shirt for him so that John Cena can’t see you, or you can’t see me.
He officially signed with WWE in March 2022 and became a member of the No Quarter Catch Crew when he betrayed teammates Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen during a six-man tag team match on the episode of “NXT” on September 12, 2023.
