Myles Borne Pulls Massive Upset And Wins NXT North American Championship

Well, we got A shocking title change on the latest episode of NXT. Myles Borne shocked the wrestling world by pinning Ethan Page to claim the NXT North American Championship. Page had ruled the midcard since May 2025 and that has come to an end thanks to Borne. As a result of this victory, Borne captured his first singles title on WWE’s developmental brand.

The Match Breakdown

Borne came into the bout with a clear game plan: target Page’s injured ankle. The week prior, he had “Pillman-ized” the champion’s ankle in a brutal attack. Page refused to go down quietly. The veteran champion fought back, yet Borne absorbed everything Page threw at him.

The finish came amid pandemonium. Members of Vanity Project—Page’s allies—tried to tilt the scales in the champion’s favor. But it did not go to plan. In the chaos, Myles seized his moment. He connected with the Borne Again and secured the pinfall victory.

What It Means For Borne

This victory represents a turning point for Myles Borne. He’s been steadily building momentum, proving himself as a technically sound and mentally tough competitor. Now, with championship gold around his waist, he becomes the centerpiece of NXT’s midcard scene.

The North American Title has long served as a launching pad for future main-roster stars. If he can sustain a strong run and deliver memorable defenses, he’ll position himself for bigger opportunities down the line. His immediate challenge will be establishing legitimacy as champion while fending off the inevitable wave of challengers—starting with a vengeful Ethan Page.

What’s Next For Page

It is interesting to see what happens to Page next. Obviously there is going to be a rematch likely at the Vengeance Day show on March. Page’s frustration and anger create natural storytelling fuel, and his association with Vanity Project ensures he won’t be going after Borne alone.

After that show though, it is likely Page is going to get called up to the main roster after WrestleMania 42 or whenever Chelsea Green heals up from her ankle injury. Many forget there were rumors of Page being involved with the Vision faction. However with how cursed that faction has been lately with injuries, he’s dodged a bullet.

Faction Warfare On The Horizon

The chaotic finish sets up more than just a one-on-one rematch. The involvement of Vanity Project and the babyface faction that came to Borne’s aid suggests NXT is building toward faction warfare.

It keeps Borne and Page locked in conflict without burning through singles rematches too quickly, while also elevating the supporting players on both sides. Expect weekly television to feature backstage attacks, brawls, and title defenses that blur the line between Borne’s journey and the larger factional struggle.

A Busy March Ahead

The February 24 episode didn’t just crown a new champion—it set the stage for a packed month of NXT programming. Other title feuds and singles angles are intersecting with the North American Championship picture, creating a web of storylines that will keep fans engaged week to week.

The Bottom Line

Myles Borne’s North American Championship victory came out of nowhere and might feel rushed, but its clear WWE views him as the future. WWE is betting on a homegrown talent and Borne has earned his opportunity of a championship reign. The chaotic finish, the faction warfare, and the symbolic end to Ethan Page’s reign all point to an exciting period ahead for NXT.

Whether Borne can build a defining championship run will determine his trajectory and shape the brand’s midcard landscape. For now, he’s proven he belongs at the top. The real test begins with his first defense.
