WWE NXT competitor Myles Borne has officially confirmed his relationship with Stephanie Vaquer, silencing speculation that has surrounded the pair in recent months. The Stephanie Vaquer relationship confirmation emerged through a social media interaction involving Borne, which not only caught fans’ attention but has also stirred conversation ahead of his next match.
Borne and Vaquer’s Relationship Publicly Acknowledged
The recent swirl of rumors found concrete footing when Myles Borne, known for his performances in WWE NXT, exchanged barbs online with his on-screen rival, Lexis King. The exchange began when Lexis King, the former NXT Heritage Cup Champion, used Twitter to taunt Borne. King shared plans for a trip with his girlfriend, Carolina Cruz, seemingly as part of his psychological warfare ahead of their scheduled NXT matchup.
“If anyone needs the King, I’ll be at Disney for 4 DAYS STRAIGHT with my Cuban queen! Then when I get back I’m gonna whip @mylesborne_wwe so hard he’s gonna get his hearing back! The best part is… I’ll be SKINNY the whole time!!! #skinnylexis”
—Lexis King, NXT Heritage Cup Champion
The tweet that followed from Borne instantly became the focal point for fans watching for any sign of a relationship with Stephanie Vaquer. Responding sharply to King, Borne publicly referenced Vaquer by calling her his “Chilean queen,” directly addressing the ongoing rumors linked to the former NXT Women’s Champion’s Chilean heritage.
“I’ll be with my Chilean queen. See you soon.”

This message functioned as a clear confirmation after months of fan speculation about the duo’s romantic involvement. The reference not only acknowledged Vaquer but brought their relationship into the public arena, rapidly gaining traction across wrestling communities.
Implications for WWE Storylines
The timing of this relationship reveal has generated additional buzz since Borne and King are set to face each other in the ring the following week on WWE NXT. With the real-life romance now public, fans are questioning whether WWE creative will weave this development into their ongoing programming or allow it to remain a personal matter outside of the storyline. As of now, WWE has not provided any hint that elements about Borne and Vaquer will feature in narrative arcs, leaving the door open for speculation.
The online exchange itself, coupled with the anticipation surrounding their match, has intensified discussions both among fans and inside wrestling circles about the boundaries between performers’ private and professional lives. While social media interactions aren’t always translated into televised drama, the context of this public reveal during an active rivalry sets the stage for possible future angles if WWE chooses to capitalize on genuine connectivity between its talent.
Update on WWE’s Moves in International Talent Recruitment
Away from storyline implications, broader WWE strategies were refocused this week with new reporting from The Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Rumors have recently suggested that after Mistico’s return for AEW Grand Slam: Mexico, WWE might be preparing to sign the famed luchador once again. However, current reports indicate that WWE has not initiated any moves toward recruiting Mistico despite his popularity and previous stint as Sin Cara from 2011 to 2014 within the promotion.
In addition, there is no evidence that WWE has pursued any major names from CMLL, one of Mexico’s top wrestling promotions. Company insiders are suggesting that even if WWE does opt to strengthen its relationship with CMLL talent—which includes stars such as Mistico—recruitment efforts may not begin until after August this year. Despite this pause, Mistico is widely considered a potential target if WWE intensifies efforts to counter the rise of lucha libre organizations like AAA on the global stage.
CMLL, for its part, is experiencing a period of growing popularity and momentum, with Mistico as the leading star drawing both fan and media attention. The company’s relative stability and expansion could influence WWE’s future recruitment decisions, especially as competition among promotions heats up internationally.
Karrion Kross Addresses Reports and Internet Rumors
Elsewhere in WWE news, Karrion Kross, a noted performer with international and main roster experience, has been battling rumors about his approach to in-ring work. Online, some fans and commentators have speculated that Kross is hesitant to take traditional bumps, a claim cited by some as a reason for a recent slowing in his push.
Kross directly confronted these allegations in a recent interview with The National, offering candid remarks about both his experiences in Saudi Arabia and the persistent spread of misinformation in wrestling media.
“I’ve wrestled once, I believe, out of the five times I’ve been here, and it was against Drew McIntyre inside of a steel cage. The other times I’ve been here, I have been received so overwhelmingly warm and enthusiastic by the fans. I was surprised because I’m not a hyper-featured character in comparison to other characters in the show. You’d think that they would go 10 times crazier for them, as opposed to me – just speaking with humility. But I’ve always been received really well by the fans here.”
—Karrion Kross, WWE Superstar
“I knew we would get here because I had a career before WWE. Obviously, the peak of my successes is WWE – it’s the biggest and best company in the world – because I believe in my ability to connect with the audience.”
—Karrion Kross, WWE Superstar
“I thought out of all the crazy articles that are fabricated about me every week, that was the weakest,”
—Karrion Kross, WWE Superstar
“There was another wild one I saw last week that was even funnier. It said something like, ‘Karrion Kross is going to come to Monday Night Raw and he’s going to quit and do a shoot promo live, and then walk out.’ I thought that was a good one. But I don’t really respond to any of them. There’s a crazy one about me every week or two. You just kind of have to laugh.”
—Karrion Kross, WWE Superstar
Kross’s straightforward response to the speculation highlights his resilience in the face of persistent rumors and underscores the fast-moving nature of chatter within WWE and the wrestling industry at large. The interview also illustrated his gratitude toward fans in Saudi Arabia and his belief in staying focused on his career milestones rather than responding to every unsubstantiated claim online.
Broader Developments Across WWE and AEW
As the news of Stephanie Vaquer and Myles Borne’s relationship reverberates, other headline-grabbing stories are surfacing in the professional wrestling world. Chris Jericho’s status with AEW, Claudio Castagnoli’s current absence from programming, WWE officials’ reaction to internet claims about Karrion Kross, and John Cena’s memorable SmackDown promo have all prompted reactions behind the scenes. These ongoing developments, both in WWE and its competitor AEW, reflect the constantly shifting nature of the wrestling business, with personal and professional stories often intertwining in unexpected ways.
WWE’s future live events, such as Night of Champions 2025 and SmackDown broadcasts from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, continue shaping the company’s narrative amid ongoing roster adjustments, social media debates, and updates on returning or absent personalities like Pat McAfee and Alexa Bliss.
What This Means for Fans and WWE Programming
The open acknowledgment of the Stephanie Vaquer relationship confirmation by Myles Borne comes as the latest example of how real life and performance blend within WWE. While it is uncertain whether the company will use this relationship in future storylines, fans now have clear evidence confirming months of hearsay. With potential moves involving international stars like Mistico and ongoing transparency from performers like Karrion Kross, WWE’s landscape remains highly fluid and interactive—fueling speculation and anticipation alike as the organization navigates interpersonal drama, global strategies, and fan engagement going forward.
