Myles Borne is headed to NXT Battleground.
Myles Borne won the 25-man battle royal on the May 6th episode of NXT to earn a shot at Oba Femi and the NXT Championship at NXT Battleground on May 25th.
Borne won the match by last eliminating Shawn Spears and Ethan Page. Page tossed Spears over the top rope, but Spears managed to hold on. As he tried to pull himself back into the ring, Borne hit a dropkick on Page, sending him over the top and taking Spears with him.
Je'Von Evans was part of the final four, but he was eliminated by Spears and Page, who teamed up to toss Je'Von over the top.
Trick Williams, who has been targeting Oba Femi since losing the NXT Title to "The Ruler," got distracted by Joe Hendry, leading to Elijah eliminating him. Elijah was then eliminated by Shawn Spears.
