The cavernous arena of SmackDown was plunged into absolute darkness, a suffocating void that swallowed even the faintest glimmer of light. A thick, chilling fog rolled across the ring, obscuring the canvas beneath your feet. The roar of the crowd, a moment ago a deafening wave of sound, was now a hushed, anxious murmur.
