Less than a week after making his NXT debut at NXT Takeover: The End, Andrade Cien Almas found himself thrust into the main event scene for the final bout of the Saturday evening show. Whats more, Cien was in very rich company for the bout; tagging with none other than NXTs hottest star, Shinsuke Nakamura, against NXT Champion, Samoa Joe, and the returning Baron Corbin.

The high profile spot indicates that WWE management has big things in store for Almas going forward and is a definite display of good faith by NXTs top brass. If the Download booking is anything to go by, NXT fans can expect big things for the new addition in the near future and a strong singles push seems a very safe bet.
