For years, Almas wrestled under a mask and was known as La Sombra. NXT made him as uncool as can be, upon his debut; giving him white clothes and ugly suspenders. During the Dusty Rhodes classic, we witnessed another side of Almas!
One that was filled with rage, malice and the willingness to inflict pain. This heel version of Almas is quite fun to watch. He defeated No Way Jose, to advance to the next round.
