The promotion may only be trying to sell the international nature of their product, but it's usually hilarious when they run down all of the foreign language announce teams present on pay-per-views. What makes it so funny is that the cameraman quickly moves between each duo, often cutting off the second man to speak.

Marco Alfaro and Roberto Figueroa are the ones tasked with describing WWE events for Portuguese speaking viewers. The showmanship present in these people is visible, despite the language barrier. More often than not, Michael Cole, JBL and Byron Saxton actually speak over their words.

At Money In The Bank, JBL decided to use the Portugal tie in to reference Christiano Ronaldo. Once Alfaro and Figueroa had been shown, Layfield encouraged Cole to ask them about Ronaldo's penalty miss in a Euro 2016 match against Austria.

That wouldn't be the only time JBL talked about the ongoing football tournament, he also brought up the Republic Of Ireland's dismal campaign when Sheamus was set to go against Apollo Crews.
