WWE SmackDown Live London Preview: Huge Debut, A Royal Mellabration

SmackDown will be live from the UK

SmackDown have a stacked show tonight, which will be broadcast on tape-delay from the O2 Arena in London. We will see at least one more Superstar added to Money In The Bank, as well as the SmackDown debut of Andrade 'Cien' Almas.

Carmella will be throwing a Royal Mellabration less than a week ahead of the Royal Wedding. Conspicuous by her absence will be Charlotte Flair who is in the United States.

After SmackDown goes off the air, we'll see the WWE UK Superstars on 205 Live.

Andrade 'Cien' Almas makes his main-roster debut

A much-awaited debut

Former NXT Champion Andrade 'Cien' Almas will finally make his main roster debut at the O2 Arena tonight along with manager Zelina Vega.

It will be interesting to see what plans WWE have for Almas, but a debut near the top of the card could help Almas become the Latin star WWE has been looking for since Rey Mysterio left.

Another interesting question regarding Almas is whether he'll debut as a face or a heel. SmackDown is currently heel heavy which could leave to Almas debuting as a babyface.

Which team member will get a singles push?

The New Day will take on The Bar on SmackDown tonight with one member of the winning team earning a spot in the men's Money In The Bank ladder match.

This could lead to some interesting scenarios, especially if The Bar win. Could we see animosity between Sheamus and Cesaro to decide who will be in the MITB ladder match if they win?

A Royal Mellabration

Carmella

Carmella announced a Royal Mellabration for this week's episode of SmackDown, less than a week before the Royal Wedding. With Charlotte absent tonight, who could step up to RNF Carmella's celebrations?
