The days of Andrade Almas dancing around in braces and a little white hat are a distant memory. With the (slightly) under-rated Zelina Vega by his side, Almas has developed into one of the most exciting acts in all of WWE. Together, the pair are dynamite.

Vega's similarities to Lita in 1999-2000 are there for all to see, and the reign Almas had as NXT Champion will only stand him in good stead. Having already been the top heel in NXT, he'll be better prepared for working his way up the SmackDown ladder.

We can't wait to see him do it.

Almas is in the envious position of joining a roster bursting with world-class talent. AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Shinsuke Nakamura, Daniel Bryan, Cesaro/Sheamus, Jeff Hardy, The Miz, Randy Orton, Chris Jericho (when he's around) and Rusev can all give Andrade top matches, which will introduce those who don't watch NXT to his skills.
