Tully Blanchard managed FTR (Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler) and Shawn Spears during his time with All Elite Wrestling. He later joined Ring of Honor, where he co-founded Tully Blanchard Enterprises with Brian Cage, Kaun, and Toa Liona. However, at the Death Before Dishonor pay-per-view, Prince Nana ‘purchased’ the group from Blanchard.
Blanchard confirmed his departure from AEW/ROH during an appearance on the Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling Podcast.
“Well, I’m no longer with AEW or Ring of Honor or any subsidiaries thereof. That sounded pretty legal didn’t it?… So I would imagine that my wrestling career is probably over other than doing autographs shows and things like we did in Nashville (Starrcast), although I don’t know how many retirement matches, last matches [Ric] Flair can have so…
It was a little more complex than that (his departure from AEW/ROH was more than just a contract situation) but, my contract is up and I’m gone. I am probably done. I doubt that AEW would have me come back. I doubt that WWE would have me come back and where else would you go except those two places?”
