For his second-ever TakeOver match, Aleister Black strolled into the Barclays Center in Brooklyn not like a professional wrestler, but as a well-developed character in a suspense-thriller film.

Emerging from a lifting ramp in a haze of smoke, Black was flanked by members of the black metal bands Incendiary and Code Orange, who performed his theme music "The Root of All Evil," as he slowly made his entrance. With darkness covering the arena and lit candles placed on the stage floor, the mood was perfectly set for the biggest NXT event of the year, Takeover: Brooklyn III.
Black's backing band tremendously enhanced the allure of his intro by performing the hard-hitting theme live, each beat pounding with a sense of intensity and fury. This perfectly complimented Black's stoic, emotionless demeanor and contrasted well with his in-ring personification of a skilled fighter hellbent on exacting punishment on any opponent that stepped in his way, including a Japanese kickboxer.
