#2 Best: An important victory for Almas

Andrade and Sin Cara had a fantastic match

Andrade 'Cien' Almas came up to the main roster with much momentum. Unfortunately, Sin Cara, his first opponent, suffered an injury and that derailed his momentum. The two men came to blows at long last this week. The result was a spectacular match.

It was interesting to see Almas try the 'Tree of Woe'. That is a move Alberto Del Rio was known for, and I wonder if Almas is symbolically taking his spot with this move. Whatever the case may be, the future is bright for this talented young man.
