On July 28 2026, Myles Borne defended the NXT North American Championship against Kam Hendrix at the WWE Performance Center, retaining the title with his finishing move. A post‑match brawl involving Mason Rook and Borne’s ally Tavion Heights triggered a pre‑announced stipulation that awarded Borne and Heights a future NXT Tag Team Championship match.

The following week, on August 4 2026, Borne and Tavion Heights capitalized on that opportunity, defeating Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes of The Vanity Project to win the NXT Tag Team Championship. The victory made Borne a double champion, as he kept the North American title while adding the tag titles. The bout saw interference from Jackson Drake and Myka Lockwood, who were ejected by the referee. After the win, Borne mocked returning NXT star Grayson Waller, declaring his two‑title status, and commentators noted his resemblance to Randy Orton in look and in‑ring style, highlighting the No Quarter Catch Crew’s growing prominence.
