Tully Blanchard Already Finished With ROH?

Tully Blanchard Enterprises is no more.

With Tully Blanchard Enterprises listed for two matches at last night's Ring of Honor Death Before Dishonor PPV, it looks as if Tully Blanchard himself may be finished up with ROH.

During the Death Before Dishonor pre-show, Prince Nana made a surprise appearance to announce that he had purchased Tully Blanchard Enterprises. From there, Nana promptly renamed the faction as the Embassy. Of course, long-time ROH fans will be more than familiar with that name, for the Embassy is a stable that first appeared - as led by Prince Nana - in 2003. Across the years, the group has featured heavy hitters such as Claudio Castagnoli, Xavier, Tommaso Ciampa, Alex Shelley, Donovan Dijak and Rhino.

As for Tully, he was completely absent from Death Before Dishonor, with that now throwing up questions about the famed Horsemen's status both with ROH and AEW.

In terms of Nana's new take on the Embassy, it was a mixed bag of a night for the faction. On the pre-show, the trio of Brian Cage, Kuan and Toa Liona were victorious over Tony Deppen, Alex Zayne and Blake Christian, whilst the opening match of the main PPV saw Jonathan Gresham lose the ROH World Title to Claudio Castagnoli.
