Report: Tully Blanchard Not "Figured In" With AEW/ROH Plans Moving Forward
The former Horseman may be done
Tully Blanchard may have finished up with AEW and ROH, based on a new report from Fightful Select.
The report states that ROH talent and staffers that had inquired about Blanchard were told that, "... Blanchard is effectively gone from the company, and isn't figured in to plans moving forward."
Blanchard was nowhere to be seen at last night's ROH Death Before Dishonor, where he would have managed then-World champion Jonathan Gresham, as well as the team of Brian Cage and Gates of Agony on the Zero Hour pre-show. He was replaced for both matches by a returning Prince Nana, with the explanation being that Nana purchased the group from Blanchard.
Blanchard's work with his prison ministry group was reportedly cited as the reason for his no-show on Saturday. The report does indicate a possible travel issue for the former Horseman, stating, "There were mixed messages as to whether or not Blanchard outright missed his travel or there was confusion surrounding the travel."
Blanchard joined AEW in 2019 as manager and mentor for Shawn Spears. He later came to also manage FTR, as well as The Pinnacle group in general.
