In what became perhaps the greatest match in the relatively short history of NXT, Andrade Cien Almas and business partner Zelina Vega made their way into the Wells Fargo Center for the main event NXT title match against Johnny Gargano at Takeover: Philadelphia, and gave the City of Brotherly Love a taste of what it's like south of the border.

Flanked by a decked-out Mariachi band fitted in traditional Mexican garb, Almas proudly sported the colours of his home country for his big match. As NXT champ, he even paid homage to his days as La Somba in CMLL and NJPW by sporting a traditional Lucha Libre mask when initially walking through the curtain.

Vega, for her part, looked stunning as well and perfectly complimented Almas as an associate. The overall entrance enhanced his credibility and made Almas look like an absolute star, foreshadowing his eventual and much-deserved main roster call-up.
