Backstage, Samoa Joe is seen making his way to the ring, wearing his signature black and green entrance shirt with his name on it, and carrying his signature white towel, over his shoulder. He has the face of a competitor, a real fierce competitor, ready to head down to the ring and kick some a**. He passes several people in the hallway towards the entrance curtains, and the people look scared of him. He ignores them, taking his shirt off and tossing it out of way, and putting the towel over both his shoulders, and he makes his way to the curtains before his music plays.
Samoa Joe's intimidating theme song begins to play in the arena, with it's slow, start. The audience cheers, knowing the history of this wrestler about to make his way to the ring. He walks out from backstage, the lights shining green throughout the arena with some yellow too. He walks down the ramp with no shirt on, just his wrestling gear, ready for a fight. Joe stops after walking out a good distance, giving the audience a big look, and then shouts loud, turning to the other side, pumped up for the match he is about to perform in, and stops shouting and begins walking down the ramp with purpose, and the announcer introduces him to the cheering crowd.
" From the Isle of Samoa, weighing in at 280 pounds, SAMOA JOEEEE!"
The Samoan Submission Machine himself walks down the rest of the ramp, slapping the hands of a few fans who had their hands extended over the barricade, and he turns left to the steps, walking up them and walks down the apron, stopping to enter the ring through the second rope. Joe walks to the opposite side of the ring throwing up the hand holding his thumb up, with the audience cheering him on. He walks around in a couple circles around the interior of the ring, keeping his energy going so he is well amped and into the match that's about to take place. Joe then stops in a corner, taking the towel off his shoulders and setting it to the outside, with his theme song slows and quits playing, and the lights go normal. He waits for either his opponent to come out or for the match to start.

★ YOU THINK YOU KNOW ME?
The PA system came to life with a man whispering "You think you know me?", and a metal instrumental was set off ("Metalingus" by Alter Bridge). The lights started working like fireworks.
You Think You Know Me On this day I see clearly everything has come to life A bitter place and a broken dream And we'll leave it all behind
On this day it's so real to me Everything has come to life Another chance to chase a dream Another chance to feel Chance to feel alive
I've been defeated and brought down Dropped to my knees when hope ran out The time has come to change my ways
On this day I see clearly everything has come to life A bitter place and a broken dream And we'll leave it all, leave it all behind
I'll never long for what might have been Regret won't waste my life again I won't look back I'll fight to remain:
On this day I see clearly everything has come to life A bitter place and a broken dream And we'll leave it all behind
On this day it's so real to me Everything has come to life Another chance to chase a dream Another chance to feel Chance to feel alive
Fear will kill me, all I could be Lift these sorrows Let me breathe, could you set me free Could you set me free
On this day I see clearly everything has come to life A bitter place and a broken dream And we'll leave it all behind
On this day it's so real to me Everything has come to life Another chance to chase a dream Another chance to feel Chance to feel alive.
The crowd would rise to their feet for the Rated-R Superstar, showing their appreciation for such a legend in the wrestling industry. Edge would come out from the waiting area and onto the stage. This was a man who was willing to put his own body in risk to be able to claim a victory, he was the Ultimate Opportunist, the people loved it; they loved everything he stood for. Edge inspected the sold-out crowd, smirking. He loved the attention, glory, and criticism that came with his job. Edge would stop his 'inspecting' and spread his legs before leaning over, then flailing his arms would throw up his Rock-n-Roll taunt after he had stiffened up.
Liliana Garcia: "Weighing in at 240 pounds, From Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He is the Rated-R Superstar! EDGE!"
The Pyro went off like flames in hell. Edge would then mockingly walk down the ramp before sprinting ahead in order to slide into the ring, laying there on his belly for a second staring at the crowd above the commentators, before taking off his hat exposing his freshly trimmed hair and retreating back to his feet. The crowd was pumped to see the Rated-R Superstar back in-action as his matches never seemed to disappoint. Edge climbed the nearest turnbuckle and once again displaying his trademarked pose. The crowd loved it, their volume was loud enough it could have been heard from 5 miles away the arena. Edge loved the energy the crowd was giving off tonight, as he threw his hat out to the fans. Edge hopped down from the turnbuckle and did the same thing on the ropes except he didn't pose he just used them like a springboard. Before taking off his jacket, handing it to the official. His theme died off and the titantron went blank without an expression given. Edge would check that his equipment was ready to go as well as himself. Edge was always ready though, whenever the oppertuinity was given he made sure he took advantage of it. That's who he was, an opportunist. But not any opportuinist he was the Ultimate Opportunist.
