David Noble

The opening of ‘Heaven and Hell’ by 20th Century Steel Band rips through the arena, just mixed a bit differently.

Children growing, women producing

Men go work and some go stealing

Everyone’s got to make a living

Then the beat from Heaven and Hell by Kanye West takes over as the HOTv starts to produce a bit of static before showing an outline of a name drawn across the width of it. It simply says:

DAVID

NOBLE

At the mere sight of his name, the arena erupts.

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH 

As Heaven and Hell continues to play through the WrestlePlex, a figure emerges, being lifted through the stage and to the center of the stage. 

At the sight of Noble, the arena comes unhinged.

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH 

David stands there, his eyes peering out at the crowd around him as he can feel the energy from every single fan in the arena.

No more promos, no more photos

No more logos, no more chokeholds

We on Bezos, we get payrolls

Trips to Lagos, connect like LEGOs

Noble stands there, lowering his head, and letting the adrenaline course through his body. 

Make this final, make this, my eyes closed

Burn false idols, Jesus’ disciples

I can feel your pain now, I done bled my vein out

New level the game now, simulation changed

David begins to make his way down the ramp, his dark brown hair flowing past his shoulders as he wears a white t-shirt with a black leather jacket over it and a pair of blue jeans. There’s an intensity to David as he walks down the ramp, each step measured and steady as his eyes stare straight ahead.

No more problems, no more argue

No more askin’, “Who really are you?”

I know the real you, you know we feel you

You know He hears you, you know we with you

Noble reaches the end of the ramp and stands there for a brief second, the fans yelling and chanting at his return before he turns to the left and makes his way to the steel steps, slowly climbing them as the music continues to roar through the arena.

Straight from Beirut, Chicago, Beirut

You cray? We cray too

You pray? We pray too

Never too late for Him to save you

Noble then stops at the top ring step.

This your movie, ‘cause no one can play you

Devil, lay down, Devil, lay down

David raises his arms as the words echo throughout the arena, moving his fingers like he wants more from the fans, which only intensifies the cheering from the crowd. 

This that level, make devils pay now

As the words explode through the speakers, Noble slams his hands together, causing an eruption of fireworks around the arena and the lights to fully come on. 

BOOM!

David then steps onto the ring apron and into the ring itself.

Hold up, no peace, hold up, police

Don’t call police, just stay focused (is on Earth)

Pray for new life, pray for new breath

Hey, Lord, make sure it’s safe for who’s left (Heaven and Hell)

He moves around the ring, looking out at the fans, slamming his right fist against his chest as he yells back at the fans, the adrenaline coursing through his veins.

Know you can’t find a place to rest

Know the Lord my bulletproof vest (is on Earth)

When we survive, know that we blessed

Save my people though the music

Then the music dies down as David Noble stands in the center of the ring. 

*NO-BLE!*

*NO-BLE!*

*NO-BLE!*
