#3 Almost fell during the spin

The NXT Championship main event between Andrade Almas and Johnny Gargano was absolutely fantastic. It was a half hour of gripping action and will be talked about among the greatest NXT matches for years to come. Because the action was so amazing, this slightly sloppy transition into a Gargano Escape probably went unnoticed for many viewers.

Almas picked his opponent up for a tilt-a-whirl off of an Irish Whip, but Johnny Wrestling continued with his momentum to cause a counter into his signature submission move. However, he almost completely lost his position while spinning around. He had a solid grip on Cien's hand and was thankfully able to hold on as the champ fell into position.
