Myles Borne Captures NXT North American Championship, Ending Ethan Page’s Reign
ORLANDO, FL – February 25, 2026 – Myles Borne is the modern NXT North American Champion, defeating Ethan Page in a chaotic main event on the February 24th episode of NXT. The victory marks the end of Page’s historic run with the title, which began in May 2025 and saw him set a record for the most North American Title defenses. WrestleZone and Fightful both reported on the title change.
A Chaotic Championship Clash
The match was far from a straightforward contest, quickly descending into chaos with interference from multiple factions. Vanity Project (Jackson Drake, Brad Baylor & Ricky Smokes) initially attempted to aid Page, with Drake even hitting Borne with his WWE EVOLVE Men’s Title while the referee was distracted. Fightful detailed this interference.
Though, Hank Walker, Tank Ledger, and Shiloh Hill intervened to counter Vanity Project’s efforts, setting the stage for a six-man tag team match between the two groups on March 3rd. Further complicating matters, Ricky Saints tried to assist Page, only to be stopped by NXT Champion Joe Hendry, who is scheduled to defend his title against Saints at Vengeance Day on March 7th. Fightful reported on the escalating situation.
The Decisive Moment and Emotional Finish
The interference ultimately led to a pivotal moment in the match when a top turnbuckle came loose due to the exchange between Saints and Hendry. Borne capitalized on the situation, shoving Page into the exposed corner before hitting his signature ‘Borne Again’ finisher to secure the pinfall victory. Yahoo Sports highlighted this sequence of events.
The show concluded with a heartfelt celebration as Borne embraced his mother, a cancer survivor, in the ring, marking a significant milestone in his career. Fightful noted his mother was in attendance for the match.
