A member of the WWE roster has addressed the frequent fan comparisons to Randy Orton.
A member of the No Quarter Catch Crew in NXT, fans have pointed out the similarities between Orton and NXT wrestler Myles Borne as both have a similar look, physique and ring attire. Aware of the comparisons, the No Quarter Catch Crew member responded to the fans by pointing out one key difference.
Borne has been partially deaf since birth as he was born with a rare condition known as persistent pulmonary hypertension of the new born (PPHN), where blood does not flow correctly to the lungs and oxygen can not move to the rest of the body. While it is treatable, loss of hearing is a common side effect.
The first and only partially deaf wrestler in WWE, Borne reminded fans of his disability on social media, quoting Orton’s theme song in the process:
Bro I’m not Randy Orton, he hears voices… I don’t hear sh*t
Borne and Tavion Heights last competed on the February 25th episode of NXT, losing to Matt and Jeff Hardy in what was The Hardys’ first match in the company as a tag team since 2019.
