Verbs in English are traditionally separated into 2 species: 'transitive' and 'intransitive' ones.
I keep my channel honest, meaning that I don't do 'the copywriting' thing, that is, I don't write about something that the readers can read themselves elsewhere, for example, here - http://bit.ly/2v9B7Ye. Quite a nice informative intro to the huge topic of transitive-vs-intransitive verbs in English.
Here's something interesting. One can 'enter the room' and one can 'exit the room', as we know. 'To enter/exit smth' is nothing special.
How about entering/exiting SOMEONE? Although it might seem counterintuitive, it's widely used everywhere.
The situation: the soccer worldcup, the final game, 2 teams are battling for the cup; say, the champion, team of Brance, opposed by its most fierce rival, team Frazil. After the 2 resultless halves goes the fruitless extra time, and the winner is found out via the lottery-like penalty shoot-outs; after tense dueling the winner is... the team of Frazil.
And this is the moment of saying 2 opposite things: "Enter Frazil!" and "Exit Brance!"
This enter/exit thing is applied even more naturally to more personalized kinds of sports, i.e. MMA, boxing etc.
Say, 2 fighters are meeting in the cage, Dragon vs Snake. Dragon is the current champion, Snake is trying to defeat him. Snake wins, so - exit Dragon, enter Snake.
Here "enter Snake" means smth close to "introducing/presenting Snake", and "exit Dragon" stands for "removing Dragon (from the pedestal)".
