Since arriving in WWE NXT, Myles Borne has been making a name for himself and is currently part of the impressive No Quarter Catch Crew faction. With his ring-attire, physique, and looks, many have compared Borne to one of WWE’s biggest stars of all time, Randy Orton.
On X (formerly known as Twitter,) Borne found the comparrison amusing, and pointed out one key difference between himself and the 14-time WWE World Champion.
Borne’s tweet is alluding to the fact that he is partially deaf, and at this junction is the only partially deaf wrestler employed bt WWE. The NXT standout was born with Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn, a treatable condition but one of the major side effects of the treatment is hearing loss. Despite this, Borne has perservered and proven himself a talent on the rise as part of the No Quarter Catch Crew and WWE NXT.
Being compared to one of WWE’s biggest success stories of all time is hardly a bad look for Borne, who appears regularly in NXT alongside Charlie Dempsey, Tavion Heights, and Wren Sinclair. On the February 25, edition of WWE NXT, Borne and Heights battled the returning Hardy Boyz, and commentary quipped that even Borne could hear the massive pop Matt and Jeff received. During the match, Borne delivered a slam straight out of Orton’s playbook.
Borne and Heights came up short in the match, and the NQCC were later found to have been ambushed by NXT’s mysterious new faction. Nevertheless, Borne remains determined to become a top name in WWE, just like the man so many fans compare him to.
