The 5 best WWE matches of 2018 so far

#3 Andrade 'Cien' Almas (c) Vs. Aleister Black (NXT Championship, NXT TakeOver: Philadelphia)

When Andrade 'Cien' Almas captured the NXT Championship, many saw it as a shock upset.

Before then, Almas had been a solid mid-carder as a part of the developmental brand, whilst then-champion Drew McIntyre had quickly become champion after returning to the WWE after a three-year absence.

But when Almas faced against the Black at NXT TakeOver: Philadelphia, the two engaged in a very fun match, which entertained the fans both in the city of Brotherly Love, and those at home.

With both men taking a ton of bumps (as well as some spots that pushed the PG-limit), it was eventually the ever-interfering Zelina Vega who was the difference maker, accidentally costing Almas the title.

Almas has since moved up to the main roster, and is killing it on SmackDown Live, but this match will forever be his 2018 best.
