NXT: 5 Points to note (19 July 2017)

#2 Behind every successful man is a woman

An absolutely gorgeous one in the case of Almas

Having come into the NXT Universe with much momentum, Andrade 'Cien' Almas consistently slipped down the ranks. Not only did his character not connect with the audience, he became just another guy on the roster.

NXT resuscitated his career with a very interesting storyline. Andrade kept losing but shrugging off his losses as a result of indulging in his wine and women. Until a few weeks ago when a mysterious woman appeared and got Almas back on track.

This woman is Thea Trinidad, Austin Aries' girlfriend in real life, but in NXT, she is known as Zolita Vega. We look forward to seeing how Almas fares, with a valet by his side.
