Sean Davis and Jimmy Jacobs collaborate to take out Tyler Black--

After weeks of speculation Sean Davis has finally revealed the identity of the man he is bringing in to take out Tyler Black and end his reign as FIP World Champion, none other than Black’s former Stablemate in the Age of the Fall, DELIRIOUS.

“As soon as the bounty was announced Jimmy Jacobs was on my phone offering me the services of Delirious to take out this punk Tyler Black” said Sean Davis. “No one knows Tyler Black better than Jimmy Jacobs, and he has guaranteed me that Delirious will be ready for Tyler Black armed with exactly what he needs to take him out of FIP and my hair for good.”

Tyler Black again told FIP officials it didn’t matter to him who was coming in to face him for the belt.

“It could be Jimmy Jacobs, though we all know that’s not his style, he doesn’t do his own dirty work, it could be Delirious, Brodie Lee, Joey Matthews, whoever Sean Davis can get to take a payday from him, it doesn’t matter to me one bit. I am the FIP World Heavyweight Champion today, I will be the FIP Champion tomorrow, and I believe I will be the Champion when I walk out of Brooksville on February 8th. Nothing Sean Davis can do is going to stop that.”

“Believe me.”
