The handshake was more than a show of sportsmanship; it was a passing of the torch, a veteran acknowledging the potential in the young star. Backstage, Punk surprised Jungle Boy once more.
"You pushed me tonight, kid," Punk admitted, a hint of grudging respect in his voice. "Keep that fire, keep learning, and maybe one day, you'll take this title from someone else."
Jungle Boy grinned, the weight of Punk's words settling in. Tonight, he might have lost the gold, but he'd gained something far more valuable – the respect of his idol, and a newfound confidence that whispered, "Your time will come, Jungle Boy."
