The lights slowly dim, before the arena is plunged into total darkness. White smoke begins to seep out under the ring apron as well as from behind the curtain. The occasional flash of a camera lights the large dark space momentarily as the level of anticipation rises. A gentle melodic pipe organ begins to play before the sound of guitar and cymbals join it. The intro comes to a close and the music breaks out into heavy song accompanied by a throaty scream as the lights on the stage begin flashing blue and white on the curtain. As Avenged Sevenfolds 'Critical Acclaim' comes into full swing the curtain moves as Scott Simmonds pushes his way out onto he stage. He takes a couple of steps out onto the stage before looking up at the crowd with a huge smile on his face. He rolls his head around cracking his neck before continuing on his way down to the ring. He slaps hands with the fans as he passes them in the entrance way before rolling under the bottom rope and turning to face the entrance way and the arrival of his opponent.
