3. NXT Title: Andrade "Cien" Almas (C) Vs. Aleister Black

Result: Black murders Almas with the Black Mass to win the title (18:30).

Rating: This was pure fire from the outset and delivered exactly what the build-up promised. Perhaps it could've done without Zelina's interference shenanigans, but the fact it had such a vital payoff in the final moments made it much easier to accept.

The result could've gone either way, the desperation was palpable and the kick-outs got increasingly close all the way to that killer ending. NXT Title matches often end up falling a little short of their potential, but this one sure didn't.

If Almas is now off to the main roster, though, he sure better have Zelina with him. 8/10
