NXT Vengeance Day Fallout: Borne Retains, Chaos Erupts, and a Street Fight Set for Vengeance Day
Orlando, Florida – The March 3rd episode of NXT delivered a night of intense action and escalating rivalries as the WWE Superstars geared up for Vengeance Day. The show featured a North American Championship match, a Women’s Championship defense, and several confrontations that set the stage for Saturday’s premium live event.
Myles Borne Continues Reign as North American Champion
The show opened with newly crowned NXT North American Champion Myles Borne celebrating his victory over Ethan Page.
