Myles Borne likes the comparisons with Randy Orton
26-year-old Myles Borne has opened up about his conversation with Randy Orton regarding their similar appearance and constant comparison by fans.
Current NXT North American Champion, Borne, recently appeared for an interview with Denise Salcedo, where he reflected on getting compared to Orton due to them often looking alike.
“A lot of people think that the comparisons started just here, that’s actually not true. I remember growing up, people actually stopped me and my mother in public and would ask if I was related to Randy,” Borne said.
“I like the comparisons, it’s funny to me because me and Randy [Orton] talk about it, and we’ve joked about it before,” he continued. Interestingly, Borne and Orton do share certain similarities, with their sleeve tattoos and shaved heads.
“It’s fun, it’s something that I like, it’s cool for a little bit, but I also want to make sure that I do what I have to do to make my own path so that people remember me and could separate me and Randy and say ‘Yeah Randy is this, and Myles Borne is this.‘”
Orton is currently scheduled to challenge Cody Rhodes at WWE WrestleMania 42, whereas Borne is set to defend his NXT North American Championship against Johnny Gargano at the upcoming NXT Stand & Deliver PLE. Borne’s girlfriend, Stephanie Vaquer, is also set for a WrestleMania 42 match against Liv Morgan.
