Summary

Myles Borne recently looked back on the Blindfold Match he had with Lexis King on the August 26, 2025 episode of WWE NXT, calling it a challenge he never expected to face.

King won that bout, as Borne had to work around not being able to see or hear during the stipulation. Their rivalry wrapped up a month later when Borne beat King in a Lights Out match.

While discussing the match in a new interview, Borne described how unusual the experience was and said he still enjoyed getting the opportunity.

Quote from Myles Borne

Speaking in the interview, Borne said:

"Honestly, I sat there like, 'Okay, I can't hear. Now, I can't see.' I mean, it was a challenge. Lex was able to rely on the sounds of me moving around. One thing I learned growing up, I am not good at sneaking up on somebody. I am not good at being quiet. I think I'm quiet because I don't hear it, but I'm heavy footed, I'm breathing too heavy, something. So I'm walking around and I'm realizing, oh my gosh, this is bad. I can't see, I can't hear. I had rely on the only sense I could which was touch. That was a different experience, something I never anticipated or thought I'd go through. It was fun at the same time, that was a fun opportunity and match. I really enjoyed it. That was different."

Myles Borne's NXT momentum after Lexis King

Myles Borne's comments reinforce how that feud with Lexis King gave him one of the more unusual stipulation showcases on NXT television, and it also helped set up the rebound win that closed the program in the Lights Out match.

The timing matters now because Borne is also heading into a bigger spotlight with Johnny Gargano at Stand & Deliver, a match he recently addressed in his comments about facing Gargano on the WrestleMania weekend card. That gives this look back a little more weight as NXT continues positioning him in notable singles programs.
