We're curious to see where this division will go now
Even though he's playing a heel, one can't help but feel a sense of happiness for Andrade 'Cien' Almas. He came into the roster with much fanfare as a babyface, but was unable to connect with the NXT Universe, because something was lacking.

That something was Zelina Vega. Ever since his business associate came on board, Almas has become a transformed man, ascending the ranks to the very top of the ladder. His crowning moment came at NXT Takeover: WarGames where he became the NXT Champion, defeating Drew McIntyre for the NXT Championship.
Both men can have some incredible matches down the road. We also love the pairing with Vega, who got physically involved in the match that transpired this evening. Check out the extremely stunned expression on Vega's expressive face, at one point during this nailbiting contest.
