The Embassy is a professional wrestling stable in All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and its sister promotion Ring of Honor (ROH).[4]
History
The Embassy is led by Prince Nana, a real-life Ashanti prince, who has taken his real life status as a prince of a nation as a part of his heel manager gimmick. 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.
In 2004 Nana formed The Embassy, Nana used his wealth gained from the taxes of people of Ghana to hire wrestlers to wrestle his opponents and rivals. Under his management John Walters defended his ROH Pure Championship and Jimmy Rave, Alex Shelley and Abyss won the Trios Tournament in 2006.[5]
On July 23, 2022, at Death Before Dishonor, Prince Nana announced he had purchased Tully Blanchard Enterprises and reformed The Embassy with Brian Cage, Kaun, Toa Liona and Jonathan Gresham.[6][7] Jonathan Gresham was quietly removed from the group after losing the ROH World Championship and departing AEW.
