Myles Borne championship losses and heel turn

Overview

At the WWE NXT Heatwave event, Myles Borne lost both of his championships. Borne and partner Tavion Heights lost the NXT Tag Team Championship to The Vanity Project (Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes). Borne subsequently lost the NXT North American Championship to Jackson Drake following assistance from The Vanity Project.

Following the matches, Borne attacked Heights with a ‘Borne Again’ finisher, signaling a split between the former tag team champions. Borne later addressed the incident on social media, stating he did not regret the decision or the title losses. He characterized the attack as a preemptive strike, claiming, “I knew how much it meant to you, and I knew if I turned my back on you, you were going to suplex me into the fifth row.”

Borne has since promised to deliver a face-to-face apology to Heights during next week’s episode of NXT.
