Tavion Heights Reflects on WWE NXT Tag Team Title Win: ‘My Greatest Fear Is Being Forgotten’

During last night’s edition of WWE NXT TV, Tavion Heights and Myles Borne beat the Vanity Project to win the NXT Tag Team Titles. Heights issued a statement on his Instagram account, reflecting on the title victory. He wrote the following:

“For those of you that have had the pleasure of knowing me deeply, you know my greatest fear. And because I’d like for the WWE universe to know me a little better, I can divulge this to you all. My greatest fear is being forgotten.

It’s part of what motivated me to become an Olympian—being immortalized in an Olympiad… But that wasn’t enough. I wanted to be immortalized in WWE as a champion for the rest of history to remember, far past even my own existence. This means more to me than most of you could ever imagine. I am one half of your WWE NXT TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS.

I will remain exactly that for the rest of WWE history. You must imagine Tavion happy, but never satisfied. A culmination of every sacrifice, every doubt, every mentor, and every bit of my blood sweat and tears. I am humbled and grateful. … MORE”

This is the first reign for Myles Borne and Tavion Heights as tag champs. Borne also currently holds the NXT North American Title. Vanity Project’s title run ended at 161 days.
