One of the brightest blue chip prospects in the company, the former La Sombra seems destined for greatness inside a WWE ring. Almas has had quite the career in the WWE, starting out on NXT in 2015.

After a great start in the yellow brand, The Mexican Sensation went through a dull phase before his resurgence in the yellow brand which saw him win the NXT Championship, and had one of the best matches of the year against Johnny Gargano at NXT Takeover: Philadelphia earlier this year.

With his business manager, Zelina Vega by his side, Almas came from being an enhancement talent to being one of the biggest stars in NXT. Almas and Vega were called up to the main roster following WrestleMania 34, and their main roster run hasn't been good so far.

While Almas has shown signs of his brilliance in matches against the likes of AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan, the duo have been a victim of 50-50 booking, and being put in meaningless feuds which have certainly put a dent on their reputation after the stellar year they had in NXT.

Almas is one of the brightest talents on the main roster, and we see a future world champion in the former luchador. He has all the tools to be the next big Hispanic superstar in the company after Rey Mysterio.

Winning the US title will be a perfect start for the former IWGP Intercontinental Champion, and if his NXT title run is anything to go by, we are in for one hell of a ride.
