Sample Entrance: The lights dim as a white light hits the main tron, reading "Duke Andrews" as "Fire Down Below" by Wayland begins to play. The single guitar playing as the words fade to black. As the song picks up a few seconds later, a highlight clip of Duke plays on the screen.
Duke makes his way slowly down the ramp as the words pick up, wearing a sleeveless black t-shirt with his name across the chest before getting into the ring. Not taunting the fans, but instead focusing on his upcoming opponent. |
