Image via WWE WWE's NXT Battleground 2025 is already making headlines, and not just for its action-packed lineup.

NXT gets a new power couple The revelation came during a promotional appearance on WFLA News Channel 8, where Femi and Vaquer were interviewed ahead of Sunday's event. While discussing his title defence against Borne, Femi casually remarked, 'I'm looking forward to beating up Stephanie Vaquer's boyfriend [Myles Borne] for a little bit.' The comment confirmed weeks of speculation that the two rising stars were romantically involved. Interview: WWE Superstars Oba Femi, Stephanie Vaquer on hopes for Memorial Day Takeover Femi elaborated further, expressing respect for Borne's rise through the ranks, but issued a strong warning: 'At the end of the day, this is not a Disney movie. You don't get the happy ending. You don't get to run off into the sunset with my belt.' The reaction on social media was immediate, with fans reacting to both the unexpected love story and the simmering rivalry. Though neither Vaquer nor Borne has publicly addressed the relationship, a photo of Vaquer with Borne's family that surfaced earlier this month had already fuelled speculation. The two have also been spotted together at social events, including a Kentucky Derby party. Interestingly, Myles Borne recently made headlines of his own after revealing that he is partially deaf - a moment that earned him widespread admiration from the NXT Universe. Now, with both his personal and professional lives in the spotlight, Borne heads into Battleground as one of the most talked-about superstars. Both Vaquer and Borne are scheduled for crucial title matches at Sunday's event. While Borne challenges Femi for the NXT Championship, Vaquer will defend her NXT Women's Title against TNA's Jordynne Grace in what promises to be a hard-hitting encounter. The event, airing on Peacock in the U.S. and Netflix internationally, will also feature Tony D'Angelo vs. Stacks, Trick Williams taking on Joe Hendry for the TNA World Title, and a six-man tag team clash involving Hank, Tank, and Josh Briggs against The Culling. As NXT's latest power couple garners attention, all eyes will be on whether their chemistry outside the ring translates to gold inside it - or whether personal stakes will raise the emotional temperature inside the squared circle.
