APPEARANCE/PRESENTATION

Entrance Theme
The Box by Ice Nine Kills
(Flashing lights warning)
Ring Entrance
"This is Hell"
Ice Nine Kills' The Box begins playing in the arena as the lights in the arena go out. The music kicks in and as it does, red strobe lights flash, lighting up a hooded, masked figure at the top of the ramp. When the first verse begins, the lights stop flashing, leaving the arena bathed in red light, aside from the spotlight on Vayden, which is now white. He stands there for a few moments before beginning his march to the ring.
"All hail the priest of Hell
Master of sin
Bow to the needles and pins
'Cause the puzzle's in pieces again
DEMONS BECOME ANGELS TO SOME"
As he walks, Vayden slowly looks around at the fans around him. He doesn't do anything but stare at the fans trying to get a high five from him. However as he passes by children who reach for him, he stops and extends a fist to them, bumping it against the kid's before moving on to the next and eventually the ring.
Derrick comes to ringside and crawls under the bottom rope, crawling across to the other side of the ring and looking out into the crowd from between the bottom and middle rope.
"So drag me back to Hell
Master of sin
Where all of our troubles began
'Cause the puzzle's in pieces again
DEMONS BECOME ANGELS TO SOME"
Vayden hops to his feet and makes his way to the center of the ring, holding his arms out wide as the camera zooms in on his masked face. Slowly, he reaches his arm under his chin, pulling the mask off of his fiercely determined face. Finally he turns to his corner, setting his mask up on the ring post before removing his jacket and dropping it down to ringside.
Gimmick
Derrick is a journeyman wrester trying to find a more permanent home. He works harder in and out of the ring than most all in an attempt to find a stable situation.
History
Vayden started his journey in wrestling because of the bullying he faced as a child. He wanted a way to fight back. What began as a means of self defense turned into a source of joy, finally getting revenge on the people that wronged him. Upon joining pro wrestling, he was quickly brought back to the side of good as the fans began embracing him and his style of wrestling. The company he began his professional career in was not a positive experience for him. However, while in that company, he met and feuded with the woman he would eventually marry, Geri. Vayden would eventually take a break from wrestling in order to focus on the couple's adopted daughter, Makayla. But now he is back in the ring and trying hard to find a permanent place to compete.

Vayden operates like 2018 Seth Rollins. A workhorse type wrestler that, while focused on the match, doesn't mind playing to the crowd a bit as well.
