Opening Segment: The Spartan Still Stands ๐ŸŸก๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ’ฅ

Scene: Spartan is in the locker room, shirtless, his back covered in bruises from last week's war with Nox Vanta. The Yellow RW World Orbital Title ๐ŸŸก๐Ÿ… and Tag Team Belt with Kola sit in his locker. He wraps his wrists, sweat dripping from his brow.

Spartan (confessional): "They said I was done. That the fire was out. But I still burn. ๐Ÿ”ฅ And this titleโ€”this World Orbital championship ๐Ÿ†โ€”isn't just mine. It's a war cry. A promise. A target. ๐ŸŽฏ"

Cut to arena. Pyro EXPLODES! ๐ŸŽ† Spartan's theme blares like war drums. The crowd goes WILD! ๐Ÿคฉ

Announcer Jerry Highkick:

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE UNDISPUTED YELLOW BRAND WORLD ORBITAL CHAMPION, THE TAG CHAMPION, THE FINISHER KING HIMSELFโ€ฆ SPAAAARTAAAAAN!!! ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŸก๐Ÿ†"

Spartan (in-ring):

"Last week, I took the Green Brand's shadow warrior and made him TAP OUT. ๐Ÿ‘Š But tonightโ€ฆ I feel a shift in the air. Someone powerful's coming. Someone oldโ€ฆ dangerousโ€ฆ and LEGENDARY. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’€"

Crowd chants: "LET'S GO SPARTAN! ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ / SPARTAN'S GONNA DIE! ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’ฅ"

Lights drop. Violin music begins to creep in ๐ŸŽป. Fog rolls across the ramp. A GIANT SHADOW looms. ๐ŸŒซ๏ธ

Enter: The KING of PAIN ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿฉธ๐Ÿ’€

Massive pyro BOOMS! ๐Ÿ’ฅ A man wrapped in chains, with glowing red eyes ๐Ÿ”ด๐Ÿ‘€ and scars from head to toe, walks out slowly. His arms are thicker than tree trunks ๐ŸŒณ๐Ÿ’ช. The entire arena falls into silence.

Commentator Brock Bones:

"That's himโ€ฆ THE KING OF PAIN. The man who turned the Crimson Cage into a slaughterhouse ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿฉธ. He once German suplexed a 300-pound man THROUGH A VAN ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿ’ฅ. TWICE."

King of Pain (slow, gravelly):

"SPARTAN. You've survived beasts. You've mastered finishers. But you've never stood across a man who doesn't fight for gold... but for legacy. I'm on my ONE MONTH RETIREMENT ROAD TOUR. I want one last title... before I walk into the void with my wife and kids. Not because I'm weak... but because I choose to go out on top." ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’”

Spartan (smirking):

"Let's make history. ๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ”ฅ"

Referee rings the bell. MATCH STARTS! ๐ŸฅŠ

Spartan rolls, hops up, throws a punchโ€”BLOCKED! ๐Ÿšซ King of Pain counters with a THUNDERCLAP SLAP to the chest! SMACK! Spartan stumbles back, coughing. ๐Ÿ˜ค

Jerry Highkick:

"That slap echoed like a gunshot! ๐Ÿ’ฅ"

Commentator Bones:

"That's 25 years of brute force behind those knuckles. ๐Ÿ’ช"

Spartan tries a dropkick! King swats him away like a mosquito ๐ŸฆŸ.

Crowd: "YOU AIN'T HIM! clap clap clap-clap-clap"

King drags Spartan to the corner, lifts him up in military press ๐Ÿ’ฅ... and DROPS HIM THROAT-FIRST onto the ropes! ๐Ÿค•

"My SPINE felt that! ๐Ÿคฏ"

Crowd: "HOLY SHT! HOLY SHT! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ"

King doesn't pin.

King (breathing heavy):

"You're strong. But this is my final storm. I've done this for decades. I fought in cages made of bones ๐Ÿฆด. Now I'm here to end my journeyโ€ฆ with gold around my waist. ๐Ÿ†"

Spartan (gasping):

"โ€ฆThen earn it. ๐Ÿ’ฅ"

King hits another PUNISHMENT! Spartan lies still. No kick-out. No movement. ๐Ÿ›‘

Commentator Bones:

"But Spartan's still championโ€ฆ barely breathing though. ๐Ÿ˜“"

Kiff stands over both men, smiling. ๐Ÿ˜

"Kidโ€ฆ I fought demons, monsters, legends. You? You got the soul of all three. Take this belt as far as you can. Make it mean something. Because guys like us? We don't get happy endings. We get WAR. ๐Ÿ’ฅ"

He raises Spartan's hand. The crowd roars with respect. ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Crowd chants: "THANK YOU KING! / THANK YOU KING! ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ”ฅ"

King (confessional, backstage):-

"One more month. Just one. My wife and kids, they begged me to stop. But I needed this. Just this run. Not for me. For my legacy. And for them to know I walked outโ€”MY WAY. ๐Ÿ’”

I COULD HAVE DONE IT IN THE RED OR HECK THE BLUE,BUT DUE TO HEALTH REASONS I COULDN'T EVEN COMPETE IN THE GREEN BRAND#"

(Whisper to his thoughts)

Maybe I could have taught Double A a little lesson....

Spartan...., you haven't seen the Last of the king of pain!๐Ÿ˜Ž
