The heel wrestler Armor King set foot into the ring of The King of the Iron Fist Tournament 7 seeking to avenge his fallen elder brother.

However, before he could sate his thirst for vengeance, fate intervened when the tournament's organizer suddenly vanished, leading to the tournament's cancellation.

Soon after, the world was overtaken by G Corp's reign of terror. Unsure of when he'd get his next opportunity for vengeance, Armor King was forced to spend his days stewing in his own anger.

Then, one day, King, the undisputed champion of pro wrestling, appeared before him.

King, who had once been consumed by the very same desire for revenge, did everything in his power to stop him.

However, his words fall on deaf ears.

"Save your breath. I will have my revenge. No matter what."

"If you insist to walk down this path...then you must get through me first! Show me your resolve in the ring!"

Thus, the normally reticent King throws down the gauntlet, putting his life on the line to prevent his mentor's brother from continuing down the same foolish path of vengeance he had once followed.

Armor King bore King no ill will. He had been a beloved apprentice to his older brother, after all. However, he could not let anyone stand in his way.

I’ll tear down the champion by any means necessary — it’s all fair in my world. This... is the life of evil. And I live it to the fullest!

Determined to lay King out, Armor King breaks the seal on a forbidden move that his brother had passed on to him in secret.

Lying in wait for him on the other side of victory is the man he swore vengeance against, and Armor King will not fail his brother again.
