Entrance Description: Explosions start going off, and fireworks explode behind John Harper in pink. As John Harper holds his arms up high in the air when the fire works stop. The crowd is getting even more louder with John walking back, and fourth at the top of the ramp acknowledging the crowd by their response, as he begins walking down the ramp high fiving the crowd by the railing, as he walks to the other side doing the same thing.
