Cross paces the entrance isle, left to right as he does the fans of RWD can be heard booing him, various chants of "Cross sucks" can be heard along with various jeers, and remarks of disdain, before finally retaking center stage.
Brenden Reynalds: ”Coming from St. Peter’s Basilica, Vatican City by way of Nashville Tennessee he weighs in tonight at Two-hundred and Thirty-Five pounds and stands approximately Six’ foot and Three” inches... He is “THE CRUCIBLE”... GAAAAAAAABRIEL CCCCCCCCROSS!!!”

As Cross does he can be seen wearing his sleeveless knee length jacket and a religious pendulum around his neck which can be seen being lit up under the white light, Cross soaks in the boos, and jeers, and chants of despise from the fans.

Cross slowly walks on down the isle, once at ringside Cross walks around to the steel steps and slowly walks on up, before entering the ring finally. Once inside the ring Cross climbs the nearest turnbuckle and throws out his arms ((Viva Randy Orton)) as he continues to soak in the jeers, and disdain from the fans at ringside and those that can be heard throughout the arena being shown toward him as he waits for his opponent to come on out from behind the black curtain to do battle.
