As mentioned previously, the conclusion of Andrade "Cien" Almas' title triumph over Drew McIntyre felt a little unusual, even accelerated, and the sight of the Scot in clear discomfort left a pall over the outcome.

Switching focus away from the beleaguered in-ring loser to his celebrating conqueror jumping for joy down the aisle showcased one clear highlight of the unusual encounter: Zelina Vega. As 'El Ídolo' struggled to orientate his newly-won gold in his jubilation, his micro-aggressor Vega beamed by his side in triumph, as much a part of the victory as her man.

The match was a fairly decent affair, but it was the interpolation of the venomous valet where it really shone. The former Rosita has bags of potential in this role, and that much was evident in Houston.
