Mogul Embassy

History

Ring of Honor (2004–2024)

The Embassy was formed in Ring of Honor in early 2004 by Prince Nana, who used the gimmick of an African prince. In storylines, Nana used his wealth gained from the taxes of people of Ghana to hire wrestlers to wrestle the Embassy's opponents and rivals, although he did once use winnings from betting on Ghana in a match (against the United States) in the 2006 FIFA World Cup to hire one. Under Nana's management John Walters defended his ROH Pure Championship and Jimmy Rave, Alex Shelley and Abyss won the Trios Tournament in 2006.

On July 23, 2022, at Death Before Dishonor, Prince Nana announced he had purchased Tully Blanchard Enterprises and reformed The Embassy with Brian Cage, Jonathan Gresham, and Gates of Agony (Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona). They would go on to defeat the team of Alex Zayne, Blake Christian and Tony Deppen during the preshow. Jonathan Gresham was removed from the group after losing the ROH World Championship and requesting his release. In December 2022, at Final Battle, The Embassy defeated Dalton Castle and The Boys to become the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champions. This marked the first ever championships for The Embassy.

On the October 14, 2022, episode of Rampage, the Embassy made its All Elite Wrestling debut, losing to FTR and Shawn Spears. On the November 1, 2022, episode of Dark, the Embassy defeated the team of Fuego Del Sol along with Waves And Curls (Jaylen Brandyn and Traevon Jordan). On the December 5, episode of Dark: Elevation, the Embassy defeated Dan Adams, Facade and Star Rider.

On the April 7, 2023, episode of Rampage, Swerve Strickland joined the faction after he announced he was merging his own faction "Mogul Affiliates" with them. The group was then renamed "Mogul Embassy". On the July 26, 2023 episode of Dynamite, AR Fox joined the faction after helping Strickland defeat Darby Allin, but he was fired from the stable on August 23, 2023. On the Rampage edition of Grand Slam. Mogul Embassy lost the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championships to The Elite ("Hangman" Adam Page and The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson). On the November 1, 2023, episode of Dynamite, Mogul Embassy defeated The Elite to become the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champions for the second time.

On the January 17, 2024 episode of Dynamite, Mogul Embassy lost the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championships to Bullet Club Gold (Jay White and The Gunns (Austin Gunn and Colten Gunn)). On April 21 at Dynasty, Strickland defeated Samoa Joe to win the AEW World Championship. This victory marked several firsts for the stable, including first singles championship and first PPV main event. Accordingly, in anticipation; before the match, Prince Nana adorned Swerve Strickland with the "Crown Jewel" robes established by his first client Jimmy Rave. On the May 8 episode of Dynamite, Brian Cage, Bishop Kaun, and Toa Liona turned on Strickland, disbanding Mogul Embassy in the process. Afterwards, Nana and Strickland remained aligned without the Mogul Embassy banner, while Cage, Kaun, and Liona subsequently formed a new stable called Cage of Agony.

The duo finished with 4 points and were unable to qualify for the semi-finals.
