NXT Champion Andrade “Cien” Almas and Aleister Black will come face-to-face tonight when they sign their match contract for TakeOver: New Orleans, making official their April 7 showdown for the black-and-yellow brand’s top crown.
El Idolo has been in the catbird seat of late, keeping a close eye on (but also a safe distance from) Black as The Dutch Destroyer proved his mettle, most recently in a hard-hitting showdown with would-be NXT Title contender Killian Dain.
Now that NXT General Manager William Regal has identified Black as the top contender, there’s only one piece of outstanding business to take care of: putting pen to paper and formalizing NXT’s big title match in The Big Easy. Will the contract-signing occur without incident, or might Almas and his always-crafty manager, Zelina Vega, throw a wrench in the works? Find out tonight on NXT.
