During his run as NXT Champion, ‘El Idolo’ was at the very top of his game as the main man in WWE’s black and yellow brand and his matches against the likes of Johnny Gargano and Aleister Black subsequently also goes on to reflect on his tremendous in-ring performances as well.
Since his arrival on SmackDown Live, Almas has been feuding against fellow Mexican Sin Cara and following his win at Extreme Rules, Almas’ on-screen manager Zelina Vega has gone on to announce that it is indeed time for the former NXT Champion to focus towards the bigger picture on the blue brand and what better way to start other than challenging for the most prestigious prize in the WWE at The Biggest Event of The Summer.

As of right now, there are several potential dream matches for Almas in the WWE and one of those dream showdowns is a clash against current WWE Champion Styles.
The entire WWE Universe have been patiently waiting for Almas to step into the ring alongside ‘The Phenomenal One’ and a match between the two men promises to be a five-star outing.
