Chipmunk and Chris Brown's 'Champion' brings the crowd inside the arena to a simmer of anticipation, which immediately turns into boos as Ryder Blade appears on the ramp. The X is clad in a sleeveless red hoodie and matching trunks, both prominently branded with the bright yellow Sprintex logo on the back. The hood of the jacket is over his head as he walks down the ramp in the company of his two masked bodyguards, throwing his taped fists in front of his face in a series of air-boxing moves as he goes. He also takes a moment to display his footwork, hopping nimbly about prior to entering the ring.
Upon entering the squared circle, Ryder stands in the center, his VoW Xcel belt held aloft, among a chorus of boos. Only after posing for a moment does The X pull down the hood and hand the belt over to the match referee. He then gets rid of his jacket altogether and steps into the center of the mat, ready to start the match!
Gimmick Description: Douchebro fratboy asshole. He is the mascot/spokesperson for an energy drink company that may or may not be hiding some darker secrets; however, Ryder is oblivious to this, as he is sheltered from anything not directly pertaining to his career and role.
