Report: Tully Blanchard Possibly Gone From ROH
Tully Blanchard Enterprises bought out by Prince Nana during PPV Saturday.
We might have seen the last of Tully Blanchard in Ring of Honor, and by extension, AEW.
The legendary wrestler and manager was most recently leading his Tully Blanchard Enterprises, having just added then then-ROH World Champion Jonathan Gresham to his stable earlier this month. But Blanchard didn't appear on the Death Before Dishonor PPV, with it announced that Prince Nana had acquired the group. The prince showed up briefly during Gresham's title bout against Claudio Castagnoli.
Fightful Select reports that Tully was not at the PPV, though there were mixed messages about whether he had missed his travel or there was confusion about the travel. Fightful was told that Blanchard's prison ministry group was cited as why he wasn't present for the show, while some said he just no-showed.
The end result seems to be that Tully is gone from the company, per ROH talent and staff that asked about his status.
Blanchard was most recently seen on AEW Rampage Friday night (taped Wednesday) in a skybox with his TBE stable during Claudio's in-ring promo.
Prior to his run with ROH, Blanchard managed FTR until he was fired in March.
Interestingly, Gresham has reportedly requested his release from ROH, which would leave the Prince Nana-run stable with Brian Cage and the Gates of Agony.
