| The lights dim, and what appears to be etched in fire on the Kramer-tron is the initials CC. The guitar riffs of "Blood Brothers" by Papa Roach begins to start over the PA System, and emerging from a platform rising at center stage is Christopher Courtley, in ring attire, and a sleeveless t-shirt. When the first verse begins to be sung, Courtley walks off the platform, where he is met by Helena Courtley, his wife and manager. The two walk to ringside, and he slides in just as the chorus of the song begins. He jumps to one of the corners and raises his hands out to the crowd, before hopping down and going to one side of the ring, hanging on the ropes, waiting for his opponent. |
James: Chris Courtley is now in the ring as we await the arrival of his opponent, TDK!
| "Sexy Boy" starts to play as The Diamond Kid slowly makes his way out for this match. The fans start booing as TDK makes his way down to the ring.
