BASIC MOVES (See Individuals): CHARACTER INFORMATION GIMMICK: A reluctant tag team forced together by their shared Coach, a mysterious man known only as Carter. Despite the Duos hesitation to work together they have been trained together and have natural chemistry. ENTRANCE (For Rhett & Sawyer): The lights in the arena dim as smoke is released at the top of the entrance ramp. The lights all tint blue and the song "Natural" by Imagine Dragons begin to fill the arena. The fans react with a loud chorus of boos, some even tossing trash at the entrance as the song begins. Will you hold the line When every one of them has given up and given in? Tell me In this house of mine Nothing ever comes without a consequence or cost, tell me Will the stars align? Will heaven step in? Will it save us from our sin, will it? 'Cause this house of mine stands strong After the first 30 seconds or so of the song plays we finally see the tag team of Rhett Dawson and Sawyer Wade, collectively known as ATG, exit from the back. Both men are wearing sleevless trench coats made of leather, buttoned up tightly in the front with a hood attached. Both men have their hood up covering their face in the shadow. Once at the top of the entrance ramp they pause looking back and fourth waiting for the song to pick up a bit. That's the price you pay Leave behind your heart and cast away Just another product of today Rather be the hunter than the prey That takes about another 10 or so seconds and once it does the duo remove there hoods and shout a bit. Nothing that can really be heard or understood. Sawyer points directly at the camera and does a cut throat taunt, meanwhile his partner Rhett turns his back to the Camera and exposes the design on the back that says "ATG" in big letters and under it Against the Grain. Sawyer then takes the moment to point to each letter of the logo (ATG) and then Rhett turns and the duo give each other an elbow bump before they begin to stroll towards the ring. And you're standing on the edge face up 'Cause you're a natural A beating heart of stone You gotta be so cold To make it in this world Yeah, you're a natural Living your life cutthroat You gotta be so cold Yeah, you're a natural As they stroll down the ramp they take a moment to taunt fans along the way. Insulting them and ripping up signs. Once next to the ring they stand next to each other and in unison jump on the apron as they do Pyro fires off of each turnbuckle. The two then enter the ring going to seperate corners standing on the middle turn buckle and continuing bickering with the fans while they raise their arms in the air. Will somebody Let me see the light within the dark trees shadowing? What's happening? Looking through the glass find the wrong within the past knowing Oh, we are the youth Cut until it bleeds inside a world without the peace, face it A bit of the truth, the truth The lights then return to normal as the two then hop down from the turnbuckle and head to their corner preparing for their upcoming match.
