5 Best Options To Dethrone Shinsuke Nakamura As NXT Champion

5. Andrade Almas

So Andrade Almas hasn't exactly set the world alight since arriving in NXT at TakeOver: The End. The former La Sombra probably wasn't helped by going up against Tye Dillinger on that night, but the fedora and stripper-attire hasn't done him any favours either. As of right now, Almas is treading water in the most dangerous of ways.

All of which surely means a heel turn is on the horizon? Almas came in with all sorts of fanfare and has been nothing short of a disappointment so far. Luckily, he has masses of talent, and if given the right opportunity will be able to steady all the ships. A heel turn and a cheap win over Nakamura could push Almas over the top.

Fans of the man will already know that his best work in Mexico came whilst working as a heel, and despite the fact NXT isn't short of bad guys right now, a turn will be the best for Almas. Good Lord does he need a new finisher though.
