NXT: 5 points to note (15 November, 2017)

#4 More than a manager

Zelina Vega also gets physically involved in Almas' matches — Zelina Vega also gets physically involved in Almas' brawls

For weeks on end, NXT Champion Drew McIntyre has been asking Andrade 'Cien' Almas, his opponent at NXT Takeover: WarGames to come and face him like a man. However, Almas has either avoided the champion or blindsided him, going into the big fight!

This week, a few sarcastic remarks from the champion would finally draw Almas out into the middle of the ring, for a brawl. While McIntyre seemed to have the upper hand at first, Vega would involve herself in the fracas, and give her client a chance to seize the upper hand.

Breaking Vince Russo and Jim Cornette update HERE.

Both Ranallo and McGuinness made much of the fact that going into NXT Takeover: WarGames, Almas had the upper hand as he had injured McIntyre's leg in the melee. Will it play a factor when it's time for the two men to lock horns? Will McIntyre sell the injury? Only time will tell.

The business-minded @Zelina_VegaWWE will stop at nothing to keep @AndradeCienWWE's focus on the GOLD! #WWENXT pic.twitter.com/Nd1lWuBf4q

It's always a two on one affair when Almas comes to the ring, thanks to Zelina Vega.
