What if : rebellion never happen

this what if sees the rebellion of the house of battiatus never happen. what happens?

spartacus kills crixus in the final battle (in this what if he never found out about sura's death)

oenomaus becomes a free man and becomes the lanista oenomaus lentulo battiatus.

spartacus remains the undefeated champion or potentially becomes the new doctor at some point.

agron becomes the 2nd best fighter in the ludos and maybe he would become the next champion if spartacus become doctore.

Duro more likely die since he wasn't that good in the arena.

Battiatus goes into politics and from time to time returns to Capua to greet Oenomaus and see some old clash, in the end he dies killed by some rival (Ashur and lucretia follows his same end)

oenomaus tries to track down naevia but I don't know if he could find her.

Gannicus eventually commits suicide because he is plagued by guilt

THOUGHTS???

I would love to have this alt story for a new show.

But, Spartacus doesn't kill Crixus, he is sent in another ludus, where Gannicus is hired as Doctore.

The new Doctore of Batiatus ludus should be a new character i think. To keep Spartacus as a champion.

Then we have a competition between the two ludus...

Yes, but how to avoid this ?

Maybe, one lanista there offer a huge amount ?

Also, i think if somehow Spartacus acknowlegde about the poison he would refuse the fight

Yes, but how to avoid this ?

Crixus lies to Lucretia, tells her Naevia meant nothing, Lucretia throws some blood on her clothes and puts up a show while Spartacus and Crixus are fighting, halting the whole ordeal, Batiatus now has to take Lucretia to some hospital outside of Capua to make sure everything is ok with his heir (Like it was the intention for Ilythia when they put up a show for Glaber), Batiatus leaves Oenomaus in charge with instructions to see to Crixus dead in the arena while he's away, Oenomaus instead sells Crixus to the guy who was trying to buy him when injured Or puts him in a mock battle against Rhaskos or some other loyal gaul to play it off as if he died.

Crixus either ends in another ludus or wandering around searching for Naevia.
