#3: Aleister Black vs. Andrade "Cien" Almas (NXT TakeOver: New Orleans)
Trending
Has there been any superstar hotter in the first four months of 2018 than Andrade "Cien" Almas? Well, maybe one. We'll get to him shortly. Almas couldn't quite match his instant classic with Johnny Gargano in his final NXT match, but it sure was a clinic anyway.
Both competitors showcased how good they really are. Zelina Vega was a valuable piece of the puzzle too, constantly interfering. The Almas-Vega combination made Aleister Black look more vulnerable than he ever has in NXT.
Ultimately, the interference wound up costing them, however. As Zelina Vega missed with a crossbody and hit her client instead. That's when Aleister Black connected with the Black Mass for the win and the NXT Championship. It was a smartly-booked ending to a fantastic match.
