Davey Richards is finally the FIP World Champion
After claiming that he was the Undisputed FIP World Heavyweight Champion after winning the Second Battle of the Belts, Davey Richards finally got to call himself the FIP World Heavyweight Champion and he did not even have to defeat Tyler Black to get the title. Due to an injury suffered by Black on Friday night, Black had to forfeit the title. Richards thought that he would have the night off, but instead he had to wrestle and he faced a man returning to FIP after some time away, Kenny King. After a grueling match, Richards was able to retain the title thanks to help from the members of Heartbreak Enterprises and Sal Rinauro of the YRR.
The YRR Overthrow their King
With three quarters of the YRR in Crystal River, we saw Kenny King confront Sal Rinauro and Chasyn Rance and wonder why they were the ones to face Erick Stevens and Roderick Strong for the FIP Tag Team Titles that King and Jason Blade lost last year. After Rance and Rinauro won their match, King wondered why they needed any outside help and wanted an answer from Rance and Rinauro. They responded with their fists and then they tried to take care of him in a handicap match but King was able to defeat Rinauro and Rance. Later in the night, the YRR would get their revenge on King when they may have cost him the FIP World Heavyweight Title.
Heartbreak Enterprises adds two but subtracts one
Since the Heartbreak Express have stepped out of the ring as active competitors, they have tried to assemble the top stable of wrestlers and that has included finding new FIP Tag Team Champions. They thought they had a team with the Heartbreak Assassins which included Damien Wayne. Wayne has been a disappointment. Thanks to the assistance of Nigel McGuinness, Heartbreak Enterprises added the British Lions of Tommy Taylor and Chris Grey. This was announced after Chris Grey helped Rhett Titus retain the Florida Heritage Title against Chris Jones. While there might be some tension between Gray and Taylor over this association, they are being guided by the former FIP Tag Team Champions at this time as they fight for their shot at the titles. While Gray and Taylor have joined Heartbreak Enterprises, Damien Wayne has been fired from the group after disappointing Sean Davis with his recent performances and his loss to Bruce Santee.
Here are the results from the show:
