WWE results: the 10 biggest winners and losers in the month of January

Winner #3: Andrade "Cien" Almas

I was sceptical when Andrade "Cien" Almas became NXT Champion in November. I didn't think he was a real titleholder. I've been proven wrong. In the build to TakeOver: Philadelphia, Almas carried the title like every bit the champion he is, and his match with Johnny Gargano proved his worth beyond a doubt.

Almas will walk into New Orleans as a proud champion, bringing prestige to the title he carries. A match with Aleister Black likely awaits, which would ironically close the circle that began at the last WrestleMania TakeOver.

Aleister Black remains the ominous, dangerous, character he was when he arrived, but the Almas he'll face in New Orleans isn't the same man as the one that he beat so convincingly in Orlando. Will Aleister Black recognize this fact, or will he fight the last war at his own peril?

Expect a slobber knocker.
