WWE management must have felt slighted by the lack of invites to the Royal Wedding or something. That's the only reason this fan can think of why they've spent the past few weeks dissing the shindig (don't forget that Carmella said nobody cares about it last week, so it's not just an odd one-off way to draw heat in the UK, as if anyone would care).

This time, a town crier was drafted in to big up Carmella's status as SmackDown Women's Champ. In the process, he skimmed over a line that encouraged God to "ignore the Queen" and save Carmella instead.

Ouch.

The actual words of the national anthem ask the Lord to "save our gracious Queen". Watching the actor's delivery carefully, he lowered his voice and said WWE's own line quickly. Don't worry, mate, capital punishment has been abolished in the UK.
