Vince McMahon "Impressed" With Andrade 'Cien' Almas
SmackDown star leaves a strong impression on the Chairman.
Andrade 'Cien' Almas has come a long way in the past few months, going from feuding with Sin Cara on the Extreme Rules Kickoff Show to scrapping with the likes of AJ Styles on SmackDown.
Most recently, the former NXT Champion has been playing a secondary role in the ongoing Daniel Bryan vs. The Miz saga, and while he isn't exactly raking up the victories at the moment, he's in a solid position.
The reason for this? Vince McMahon.
This is according to Fightful, who claim their WWE sources have told them that 'Cien' first caught the Chairman's eye during his work with Styles, prompting Almas' promotion into the Miz/Bryan programme.
Last week saw Andrade wrestle Daniel for the second time in as many weeks. He then charged to the ring with manager Zelina Vega after Miz had fallen to R-Truth in the night's main event, but the duo found themselves trapped in tandem Yes! Locks from Bryan and Brie Bella at the show's conclusion.
Fightful add that while Almas was thrown into the spotlight against AJ, nobody expected him to come off as well as he did. Vince noticed, however, and now that he has the boss' attention, 'Cien' may be set for big things.
