David Bostian III (born May 25, 1999) is an American professional wrestler signed to WWE, where he performs under the ring name Myles Borne on the NXT brand.
Early life
[edit]Bostian was born in Wilmington, North Carolina with Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn. It is a treatable condition but one of the major side effects of the treatment is loss of hearing, resulting in Bostian being deaf. Bostian received hearing aids and would use an FM system while he was in school, allowing him to focus clearly on one person and read lips. Bostian became an amateur wrestler while he was in kindergarten and during high school. His record was 28-7, with 12 pins, one technical fall, and six major decisions. Bostian was allowed to wear his FM transistor inside his earguards by the N.C. High School Athletic Association in order to be able to listen to his coach during his matches.[1]
Professional wrestling career
[edit]WWE (2022–present)
[edit]On March 17, 2022, Bostian was announced among a class of recruits who reported to the WWE Performance Center to begin training with WWE.[3] Bostian made his in-ring debut under the ring name Myles Borne on the June 17, 2022 episode of NXT Level Up, where he lost to Guru Raaj. Over the next year, Borne would mainly compete on NXT Level Up mostly in losing efforts with only one win on his record against Ikemen Jiro on the October 21 episode of NXT Level Up. In September 2023, Borne began to work with Drew Gulak, Charlie Dempsey and Damon Kemp[4][5][6] as part of the stable No Quarter Catch Crew (NQCC).
A week later at NXT: Roadblock, NQCC announced that the NXT Heritage Cup will be defended by the whole stable under the "Catch Clause".[7] Under the Catch Clause, NQCC as a whole referred to themselves as the NXT Heritage Cup Champions but WWE only recognize Dempsey as the official champion.[8][9][10][11][12][13] On the May 6, 2025 episode of NXT, Borne won a 25-man battle royal to become the #1 contender for the NXT Championship. He faced Oba Femi for the title at NXT Battleground on May 25[14] in a losing effort.[15] On the June 3 episode of NXT, Borne defeated Dempsey in a rounds match to leave NQCC.[16]
