The main lights go down as music begins to build, spotlights in white and orange darting around the darkened arena.
Get on your knees and BOW. DOWN.
Two bursts of bright orange fireworks fire up from the top of the ramp, in time with "Bow. Down." followed by a mixed chorus of boos and cheers echoing around the arena as I Prevail - Bow Down pumps out over the speakers.
Aa the smoke clears, and the main lights come up, the spotlights zone in on Lance, stood with his back to the arena, right hand in the air throwing up the horns, his shoulder length hair resting on the top of a black leather cutoff emblazoned with his initials and a coat-of-arms style eagle.
Yeah, I come alive, I'll survive, take on anything So paint a target on my back let 'em come for me I don't fall, don't quit, don't ever sleep 'Cause, I'm on another level that you'll never reach
The titantron flares into life, Lance's intro video updated again, now exclusively with spots from the promo and the brutal TLC match at Survivor Series, the intensity of this feud on full display.
If you seek forgiveness You'll get nothing YOU'LL GET NOTHING FROM ME.
Lance turns to face the arena, his face serious and focused, but tinged with confidence, and begins walking down the ramp toward the ring.
You will never know, it's the price I pay Look into my eyes, we are not the same Yeah, this is where you fall apart Yeah, this is where you break 'Cause I'm in control and you'll know my name 'Cause I gave my life, gave it everything Yeah, this is where you fall apart Yeah, this is where you break To everybody who doubted Get on your knees and BOW. DOWN. Get on your knees and BOW. DOWN.
Lance began to make his way down the ramp, the mixed chorus of cheers and jeers still ringing around the arena.
You better recognize You wanna talk that s**t, time to back it up 'Cause the best of your best ain't good enough Playing with my name, now I know you really ******** up Keep runnin' your mouth and I'ma call your bluff
When he got to two thirds of the way down the ramp, Lance broke into a sprint, diving under the bottom rope as he reached the edge of the ring, sliding into the centre.
You will never know, it's the price I pay Look into my eyes, we are not the same Yeah, this is where you fall apart Yeah, this is where you break 'Cause I'm in control and you'll know my name 'Cause I gave my life, gave it everything Yeah, this is where you fall apart Yeah, this is where you break To everybody who doubted Get on your knees and
Lance walked to the turnbuckle to his left, climbing the ropes and raising his hands, throwing up the horns with both. The crowd popped and there was a flash from a sea of camera phones.
Have you ever had a dream? Would you fight for it? Would you go to war? Would you die for it? So now I'll take my stand Now I'll make you see That if you seek forgiveness You'll get nothing from me
Lance jumped down, going over to the opposite turnbuckle before climbing the ropes again and throwing the horns for a second time to another crowd pop and more camera flashes.
You'll get nothing from me You'll get nothing from me You'll get nothing from me
To everybody who doubted To everybody who doubted Get on your knees and BOW. DOWN. BOW. DOWN. BOW. DOWN.
As the track finishes, Lance jumps down from the turnbuckle and stands in the center of the ring waiting for his opponent.

Lance waited in the center of the ring for more than a few moments as the crowd erupted into a chant..
"Nuke! Nuke! Nuke! Nuke!"
The lights keeping the audience in light suddenly switched off, as the crowd roared even further. Suddenly, all across the arena, red lights came up as the crowd turned on red glowsticks that they were given earlier.
The lights around ringside, the ramp and the stage all suddenly went a deep, crimson red.. as a familiar but old theme song hit the PA.
Bleed - Meshuggah
The red crimson lighting suddenly started to flicker and jump with the beat, pulsating and creating a very horror-esque scene. The crowd were absolutely loving it as, walking out from the back on all fours, came the man they had been waiting for.
Dressed in a deep red attire, body paint, and eyes black with red pupils.. came the demonic side of Nuke Fusion.
A horned crowd adorned his head with his mouth covered as he skulked onto the stage, lights flickering in the crowd as the thousands tried to capture this moment on their phones and cameras.
Beams of fire sweep through my head Thrusts of pain increasingly engaged Sensory receptors succumb And now I know all the agony
My crimson liquid so frantically spilled The ruby fluid of life unleashed
Nuke got to the top of the ramp and rose slightly, squatting low and looking out across the arena. The brutal song played in the background, an homage to his former self.. the one that Lance had brought back.
He got to a rise as he looked out once more across the arena, taking a slow walk down the ramp, his eyes slowly becoming fixated on his opponent in the ring, who was now draped in a crimson hue from the lights.
Ripples ascend to the surface of my eyes Their red pens drawing at random, at will A myriad pains begotten in their wake The b*****d spawn of a mutinous self
The regurgitation of my micro nemesis Salivating red at the prospect of my ruin, my doom
As Nuke reaches the ring he gets down on all fours again and starts crawling around the ring, taking a slow and methodic journey around, eyes darting from his opponent in the ring to the fans at ringside, who were particularly enjoying this spectacle.
As he finally makes his way around the ring Nuke starts crawling up the steps slowly, eyes fixated on Lance again.
Malfunction The means for its ascent Bloodletting, the stringent voice to beckon my soul
So futile, any resisting tension As death-induced mechanics propel its growth
Reaching the ring apron, Nuke gets very slowly to his two legs again and stands, climbing the ring post from the outside. His red pupils are fixated on Lance as he raises a finger to the sky .. and then slowly it descends, pointing at the Hawkwing.
Nuke suddenly jumps down and lands on two feet, eyes still unblinking.. he cocks his head slightly as he looks his opponent up and down, before he looks around the arena once more.
As the ref finally comes to his attention he nods and raises his chin slightly, unwrapping the mouth covering passing it to him, as he keeps his lips sealed and pursed.
The implement, the device of my extinction The terminating clockwork of my gleeful bane The definitive scourge of its mockery The end-art instruments lethality attained
Next he slowly removes his crown of horns, passing that slowly to the official, who quickly hurries the adornments away. The music starts to slowly fade away as, standing in the ring, Nuke tilts his head once more and stares into the soul of his opponent.
The crowd start going beserk as they chant again..
"Nuke! Nuke! Nuke! Nuke!"
