#3: WWE NXT: Tommaso Ciampa vs Aleister Black

This match took a lot of people by surprise. Especially because no one actually expected for the title to change hands so soon. Despite the fact that this bout revealed Aleister Black as a transitional champion, the match itself was nothing short of greatness. Even with Gargano being so hellbent on stopping Ciampa from becoming champion, the outcome surely shifted our focus.

The story here is that Gargano and Ciampa's problems have gotten in the way of Aleister's title reign. It only makes you wonder what could've been with the planned triple threat match that was going to take place with those three. Also, the thought of Ciampa going from a tag team champion all the way to the main event wasn't exactly a thought for most.

That's one of the reasons this title change was so shocking. Nevertheless, these guys went and left everything in the ring, putting on an amazing show for everyone in attendance and everyone watching at home.
