Both DarkState and Vanity Project are known to be dirty players. Who do you think will be able to pick up the victory?

However, once Myles Borne stepped up, Page had no interest. Last Tuesday, Borne took it upon himself to make Page give him a championship match by threatening to break his ankle after his match against Shiloh Hill.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Is Myles BORNE to be NXT North American Champion!?! \ud83d\ude4c<a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OfficialEGO?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@OfficialEGO<\/a> just accepted <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mylesborne_wwe?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@mylesborne_wwe<\/a>&#8216;s Title challenge for NEXT WEEK! <a  href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/QnxjFNsau1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/QnxjFNsau1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 WWE (@WWE) <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WWE\/status\/2023959729672704002?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">February 18, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span>Borne has improved vastly in the past year and you can see the determination in his eyes.
