Titus O’Neil hasn’t wrestled a WWE match in six years, but the longtime WWE personality is making a fresh business move outside the ring. O’Neil, whose real name is Thaddeus Michael Bullard, has officially signed with Stoked Sports & Entertainment Expansion for management as he continues building his career beyond wrestling.
The agency is headed by Tammy Hunt and has worked with a roster that includes veteran names such as Patrick Patterson, Darius Miller, Norris Cole and Shannon Briggs. Hunt made it clear that bringing O’Neil into the fold lines up perfectly with the kind of talent Stoked wants to represent.
“I have spent my career helping talent build careers with staying power and Stoked is the platform I always wanted to build from. Titus and this class are exactly the kind of talent we want to grow with, on the field and well beyond it.”
O’Neil also addressed the signing and explained why Stoked stood out to him. For the former WWE star, the agency’s focus on life beyond the spotlight was a major selling point.
“Stoked sees athletes and entertainers as whole people with businesses, families and legacies to build. Tammy and this team think the way I think, and that is why I am all in.”
Stoked Sports co-founder Jarnell Stokes believes adding O’Neil could be a major step forward for the company. He praised both Hunt and O’Neil while making it clear that the agency views the partnership as something that can help expand its reach.
“Tammy is one of the best in the business, and Titus is a force. This is the team and the talent that take us to the next level.”
O’Neil has not competed inside a WWE ring in roughly six years, but he has remained closely connected to the company. He has continued serving as a WWE Global Ambassador even after being shifted to the alumni section of WWE’s roster.
The latest signing shows O’Neil is still expanding his footprint well beyond professional wrestling. His in-ring days may have been quiet for years, but his relationship with WWE, business ventures and public-facing work continue to keep him firmly in the mix.
What do you think Titus O’Neil’s next move should be now that he has signed with new management? Would you like to see him take on an even bigger role in WWE, or continue expanding outside wrestling? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
