In a high-stakes showdown on WWE NXT, Ethan Page, the reigning North American Champion, faced off against Shiloh Hill for the title. Leading up to the match, Page openly downplayed Hill’s abilities, casting doubt on his chances of victory. The contest culminated with Page securing a significant win, but the celebration was interrupted by tensions in the ring as Vanity Project, Page’s faction, attacked Hill afterwards.
Myles Borne Intervenes and Sets the Stage for a Title Fight
During the post-match chaos, Myles Borne unexpectedly came to Hill’s rescue, taking a stand against Ethan Page and the Vanity Project. Before the scheduled match, Borne told ZaRuca that he finally figured out his next move. After helping Hill recover from the group’s assault, Borne joined forces with him to fend off their attackers.
Borne then challenged Page directly, landing multiple punches and demanding a WWE NXT Title Match. The situation escalated dangerously when Page trapped Borne’s ankle around a steel chair, preparing to injure him severely.
