As seen on last night's WWE NXT TakeOver: WarGames Andrade “Cien” Almas became the new NXT Champion after defeating Drew McIntyre. On today's edition of the Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer revealed that Almas was not originally planned to face McIntyre at the event.
According to Meltzer, Adam Cole was due to be the challenger to Drew McIntyre but WWE changed the plans once when they decided to bring the WarGames match back. Its now possible with McIntyre out of action for six-months due to injury we will see and Adam Cole/Andrade “Cien” Almas vs. Adam feud.
