Summary

Myles Borne says his time in No Quarter Catch Crew gave him needed support early in his run on NXT television, even as he now feels more fulfilled working on his own.

Borne spent close to two years aligned with the group before breaking away as a singles act. That run eventually led to a major breakthrough, as he defeated Ethan Page to win the NXT North American Championship in February.

While speaking on the No Contest Wrestling Podcast, Borne said the faction helped him settle in during a period when being featured on television still felt new.

Quote from Myles Borne

"That was cool because there were amateur wrestlers in that group and people with other disciplines. It was fun to have that little group together, before we even got together in a group, we hit it off really quick in the PC. We felt like brothers from other parts of the world because we shared one thing and that was amateur wrestling. Now that we were in a group together, it felt like alright, we are the NQCC, we are dogs. We are tough catch wrestlers and it was cool. It was fun to have a group because you know, it’s scary being on TV that new. It was nice having those guys come out there with me while I’m out there. I didn’t feel so singled out. It was a good group of guys. I enjoyed my time in NQCC, I had a lot of fun with those guys. Me and Tavion, we clicked really good. I think we had some of our best matches together. I still look back and I’m like, dang, we killed it. We went to Deadline a couple of years ago against Nathan and Axiom, that was a phenomenal match. Then, we got to welcome The Hardys back, that was fun. Me and Tavion, we had a good time together. The NQCC, that was fun. I’m happy it happened but I’m also even more happy that I got to step out and now do something on my own. I wanted that pressure and I wanted that spotlight."

Winner

Borne's recent singles run produced his biggest career win so far, when he ended Ethan Page's reign to become NXT North American Champion in February.

What Borne's comments mean for his NXT title run

Borne's comments make No Quarter Catch Crew part of his championship story, because he said the group gave him support at a point when early NXT television appearances still felt intimidating. That gives his current title run a clearer progression from faction prospect to featured singles champion.

There is also a straightforward roster implication here. Borne is presenting himself as someone who has already moved beyond the security of a faction, which fits how NXT has positioned him since winning the title and later defending it against Saquon Shugars.
