“He’s the greatest ever to do it, but yeah, it’s cool to have that comparison, and I want to make my own name,” Borne told Salcedo (32:30 onward). “I want people to know me as Myles Borne. I also want to make sure that I do what I have to do to make my own path so that people remember me and could separate me and Randy and say, ‘Yeah, Randy is this, and my boy is this.'”

Borne resembles Randy Orton in his shaved head, right-hand tattoo, trunks, abs, and wrestling style. Although he’s a little shorter than The Viper, one can easily see Orton in his features. Borne is currently on NXT, as he started with WWE from NXT Level Up in 2022 and eventually graduated.

Myles Borne won his first championship in WWE

Myles Borne won his first championship with the Stamford-based promotion recently. Considering he started in WWE and had no independent experience before, the North American Championship win was special to him. In February, Borne started feuding with the then-champion Ethan Page. He then pushed Page, showing the more aggressive side of himself.

That turned out in Borne’s favor as he defeated Page for the championship on the February 24 episode of the developmental brand. Ever since, he has retained the North American Championship in a rematch and multiple house show matchups.

Borne will now enter Stand and Deliver as the champion, defending the title against Johnny Gargano. The NXT show is set to be held on April 4 at The Factory at The District in St. Louis, Missouri. It will be livestreamed on WWE’s YouTube channel in the U.S. and on Netflix.
