12 Ups & 4 Downs From Last Night's WWE SmackDown (May 28)
11. Andrade's Improving Promo Game
That Vince McMahon is high on Andrade isn't a secret, though it has long been thought that his lack of spoken English prevents the former NXT Champion from receiving the kind of push has fans pine for. Fortunately, things seem to be improving. Recent months have brought noticeable improvements in the 29-year-old's promo game, to the point where that ever elusive push is finally looking like a possibility.
Andrade and Zelina Vega got on the stick last night, with Vega noting the punishment Finn Balor took a Money In The Bank ahead of her charge's clash with the Intercontinental Champion at Super ShowDown. Andrade's diatribe followed, with the Mexican grappler noting that Balor didn't just get powerbombed onto the latter, he was powerbombed onto the ladder by him, and that he'll find his inner demon in Saudi Arabia.
The delivery still needs work, but Andrade's attitude and disposition came across well. That's the most important thing.
