On the May 13, 2025, edition of WWE NXT, Myles Borne delivered the biggest victory of his young career by defeating Ethan Page in a hard-fought, emotionally charged match that left fans buzzing and firmly established Borne as a rising star in the black-and-gold brand.
Heading into the bout, Ethan Page had been on a dominant run since arriving in NXT. Charismatic and cunning, Page brought a mix of confidence and cruelty, often backing up his words with decisive in-ring performances. Many assumed his path to the top of the NXT ladder was a matter of when—not if. But Myles Borne, long considered an underdog with untapped potential, had other plans.
From the moment the bell rang, Borne showed a level of aggression and focus that caught Page off guard. The early moments of the match saw Borne using his technical background to control the pace, grounding Page with a series of mat-based holds and precision counters. The crowd rallied behind Borne, clearly sensing the shift in momentum.
Page, ever the showman, managed to turn the tide briefly with his trademark offense—mixing strikes with taunts that drew jeers from the NXT faithful. A thunderous powerslam followed by a near fall reminded everyone why Page had been pegged as a future main eventer. Yet every time he tried to put Borne away, the resilient young competitor kicked out, feeding off the crowd’s energy and his own desire to prove himself.
The turning point came midway through the match when Page attempted his signature Ego’s Edge, only for Borne to slip out and respond with a high-impact German suplex that ignited the arena. From there, Borne strung together a series of explosive moves, including a spinning heel kick and a top-rope elbow drop that nearly scored the win.
The final moments were pure drama. Page, visibly frustrated, resorted to underhanded tactics, attempting to remove a turnbuckle pad to expose steel. The referee caught him just in time, and during the distraction, Borne capitalized with a perfectly timed roll-up—catching Page completely by surprise. The referee counted three, and the crowd erupted.
Myles Borne stood tall, stunned but triumphant. His victory wasn’t just a win on paper; it was a message. He had overcome the odds, silenced doubters, and pinned one of NXT’s biggest names cleanly in the middle of the ring. As he celebrated, Ethan Page looked on in disbelief, his confident smirk wiped away by the harsh reality of defeat.
This match was more than just a highlight—it was a turning point. For Borne, it marked the start of a new chapter as a legitimate threat in the NXT landscape. For Page, it was a humbling moment that might spark a more ruthless edge going forward.
With the NXT universe still buzzing, one thing is clear: on May 13, 2025, Myles Borne arrived.
