NXT Preview: Johnny Gargano vs. Andrade Almas – Title vs. Career

WWE will air a significant episode of NXT tonight. In the main event, Johnny Gargano takes on Andrade “Cien” Almas in a rematch from their well-reviewed match from Takeover: Philadelphia.

Almas’ NXT championship will be on the line but so will Gargano’s career.

Confirmed Matches for NXT Tonight

  • NXT Championship Match
    Career vs. Title
    Andrade “Cien” Almas (c) vs. Johnny Gargano

    • Gargano was goaded into putting his career on the line in order to receive one more title shot against Almas.
    • Now if Gargano doesn’t when the title, he has to leave the brand.
  • Nikki Cross (Sanity) vs. Vanessa Borne
    • Borne is a former Arizona Cardinals cheerleader and participated in the Mae Young Classic. She signed with WWE in April of 2016.
    • Cross has been at the top of NXT women’s division for some time. If this was MMA, you would say she is playing the gatekeeper role here for NXT women’s division. If Borne wins she graduates to contender status. If she doesn’t then she doesn’t.
  • No Way Jose vs. the Velveteen Dream
    • The Dream is coming off a big win over Kassius Ohno at Takeover: Philadelphia. A single’s victory on a Takeover show is generally a sign a wrestler is moving into contender status in NXT.
    • As for No Way Jose, he hasn’t been seen on television since early January when he defeated Cesar Bonani.
    • The winner of this match probably moves into a bigger storyline leading into Takeover: New Orleans. The loser most likely does not.
