Borne, whose real name is David Bostian, wrestled in high school and spoke to Star News Onlineย in 2013 about how Anthony Robles, a one-legged wrestler who won the NCAA championship at Arizona State in 2011, inspired him. “When I was little, I used to make excuses about wrestling and feel bad for myself, and when I saw him I was like, ‘He can’t walk or really hold onto his opponent at all,’ and he’s out there wrestling and wins the title,” Borne said at the time. “That just inspired me to work even harder because if he doesn’t make excuses I shouldn’t either.”
Borne signed with WWE in March 2022 after trying out for the company. He had seven matches on NXT: Level Up before speaking for the first time. That’s when fans noticed that Borne is deaf and began showing support for him. Most recently, Borne faced Noam Dar on the April 18th episode of NXT and looks to work his way to the main roster.ย
