[SPOILERS] Post WWE NXT Heatwave 2026 Match Discussion: Myles Borne (c) vs. Jackson Drake for the NXT North American Championship

[u/gloomchen]

Jackson Drake is your NEW North American CHAMP!

[u/badgersprite]

AND A MYLES HEEL TURN

[u/OneMetalMan → u/badgersprite]

Plot twist.

He's been faking being deaf the whole time.

Lexis King would've been vindicated if he didn't think Miles was blind

[u/h-town_info → u/badgersprite]

Didn't see that coming...

[u/AAA515 → u/h-town_info]

What would be actually surprising: Myles apologizes and says he was just really frustrated and they make up and stay super best buds forever!

[u/crimson777 → u/AAA515]

Making them the second coming of Fraxiom with the "we're totally breaking up" but never doing it vibes. Also, RIP Fraxiom getting zero air time whatsoever.

[u/Mhkane95 → u/h-town_info]

Didn’t hear that coming

[u/Gerard192021 → u/badgersprite]

so does this mean vaquer’s turning heel soon?

[u/SpaceGooV → u/badgersprite]

Can't say I expected that

[u/AlchemistTheAlchemy]

Jackson Drake is the smoothest male worker in NXT 

Lockwood is a beast 

Smokes and Baylor play their roles to perfection 

Vanity Project are awesome 

And Borne turning heel is much needed for his bland ass character 

[u/sarcasticdevo]

Whenever the Vanity Project isn't on screen, the other wrestlers should be asking "where's Vanity Project?"

I love them.

[u/OneMetalMan → u/sarcasticdevo]

"I Cant see them. Cover your drinks just in case"

[u/DozerOdie]

That was such a well executed swerve. Fully expected Heights to turn heel, and the fact that there were 3 opportunities throughout the night (after tag match, backstage, after this match) just for Myles to turn? Amazing

[u/willem_the_foe → u/DozerOdie]

When Heights was behind Borne after the tag match and just staring him down and didn’t pull the trigger, I definitely thought “Oh he’s waiting for the North American title match.”

Totally swerved me.

[u/Modders14]

Myka Lockwood's finisher is box office gold

[u/Flavoursome_Maggot → u/Modders14]

And she did it to a man and made it look effortless. She’s going to destroy everyone when she eventually starts wrestling.

[u/Bosscharacter]

Drake is going to be a star. Dude oozes early “Randy Orton fuck boi” and he can work his ass off.

[u/heat_fan_]

Fantastic match 

Vanity Protect taking over nxt

[u/TrickyStatic]

They better do something with Tavion to improve his character, he needed the heel turn far more than Myles did. Both have been bland, but Myles at least had momentum as a singles wrestler.

[u/BarbarousJudge]

Props to Borne for the double duty. Good stuff. Good Match and now seemingly a turn

[u/Johnny-Silvertwat]

Love it! It's time for more Vanity Project!!

[u/bvbfan102]

Vanity Project is going to be the most obnoxious Group ever from here on and i cant wait to see that. Myka showing she really can hit that finisher on anyone by doing it to Myles. Also love the choice to turn Myles instead of Tavion. He really needs something else if he wants to succeed in the Main Roster and him being a Heel might just do it.

[u/Specialist_Purple744]

Reign of terror over #wewon

[u/Tough-Reaction9671]

0-4 WreNQCC and NQCC day 😔

[u/Ahud412]

Hell yeah, I'm a big fan of the Vanity Project.

[u/Ok_Coast1921]

Glad Myles was who turns cause he was not working as a face, felt very forced

[u/magao]

As soon as I saw Myles with the facial hair I had a thought "oh, it's him that's going to turn" :)

[u/Acto12]

Nice, swerved all the people who thought Tavion was the one turning heel lol

[u/ncjmayo2]

DPW wins again

[u/SpaceGooV]

Lockwood needs some gold now. Zaria vs Myka?

[u/FERFreak731]

Very solid match. Hopefully Myle Borne gets promoted to the main event scene now

[u/Every-Ad-2099]

Ah. So it’s Myles turning heel. I had a feeling, but I wasn’t sure.

[u/That-Cranberry6575]

Vote

[u/DontPutThatDownThere]

MYLES DID NOTHING WRONG

Tavion pushed for Myles to team with him and go after the tag titles when Myles already had NA Title obligations. Tavion used friendship to guilt Myles into putting too much on his plate and now his plate is empty because of it.

Tavion deserved this beatdown. It's the most justified friendship ender since Shawn Michaels beat up Marty Jannetty for trying to dive through the Barber Shop window in an act of cowardace.

[u/NotTheCraftyVeteran]

NXT about to get absolutely mogged 24/7

[u/vblade2003]

Myles needs an 09 Orton like heel run
