On the latest episode of WWE NXT, Myles Borne successfully defended his North American Championship by defeating Ethan Page in an unexpected rematch. The encounter unfolded shortly after Borne’s initial title win last week, where Page challenged Borne’s legitimacy and demanded an immediate opportunity to reclaim the championship.
Borne opened the show with a pointed promo, sarcastically thanking Page for forcing him to elevate his performance. Acknowledging Page’s criticism of his supposed lack of a killer instinct, Borne revealed that the remarks sparked a new level of determination. He clearly stated his willingness to do whatever it takes to maintain his reign, emphasizing he is not aiming to be a heroic figure but a champion above all.
Page Insists on Rematch and Provokes Title Defense
Page interrupted Borne’s promo, insisting that Borne’s reign was a fluke secured solely due to Page’s efforts. He boasted about his achievements and demanded an immediate rematch, claiming he deserved another shot at the title. Though Borne initially hesitated, citing the need to consult manager Robert Stone, Page’s persistence led to Stone appearing and officially sanctioning the impromptu matchup.
Intense Championship Match Ends with Controversial Finish
The rematch was fiercely contested from start to finish. Late in the bout, Page attempted to exploit his belt buckle as a weapon, gaining only a near fall. Borne countered with an ankle lock, forcing Page to desperately escape, resulting in Page’s pants falling off mid-match. The ensuing distraction allowed Borne to strike Page with his own shoe unseen by the referee, then execute his finishing move, Borne Again, securing a decisive victory and retaining the North American Championship.
