The top 10 WWE matches of July 2018

#1 Aleister Black vs. Tommaso Ciampa (NXT, July 25th)

It's almost cliche when it comes to a match featuring either Tommaso Ciampa or Johnny Gargano, but was there ever any doubt? Aleister Black, too, is having a fantastic year, even if it's under the radar, so when these two collided, we knew we were in for some fireworks!

Everything about this match was excellent, from the work rate to the character work. The little subtleties, like Black taunting Ciampa to "tweet about this!" only added to the intensity. Callback elements like exposing the concrete floor were masterfully placed as well.

Johnny Gargano's interference leading to Ciampa's shocking win was the icing on the cake, all the while Black was protected in defeat.
