Blanchard, who was a longtime adversary of Dusty Rhodes, will now be paired with Shawn Spears against Rhodes&#8217;s son Cody. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>You can read AEW&#8217;s press release below:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During last night\u2019s episode of AEW\u2019s \u201cThe Road to All Out,\u201d Shawn Spears unveiled the ace up his sleeve in the form of legendary wrestling villain Tully Blanchard. Effective immediately, Blanchard has entered into a multi-show agreement with Spears and AEW.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Blanchard, a second generation star who is widely considered one of the most notorious and treacherous wrestlers of all time, was a member of the world renowned Four Horsemen, the NWA World Television Champion and holder of multiple tag team titles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cShawn Spears\u2019 new advisor Tully Blanchard is a legendary retired wrestler and a canny tactician known worldwide for his vicious streak and penchant for chicanery,\u201d said Tony Khan, President and CEO of AEW. \u201cGiven the challenge that Shawn has issued to Cody for a match at ALL OUT as well as the long, bitter history between Tully and the Rhodes family, plus Shawn\u2019s recent behavior in AEW, it appears that Tully Blanchard has a great deal of influence over Shawn\u2019s intents and actions. This indicates that going forward Shawn Spears will be one of the most feared and unpredictable wrestlers in AEW.\u201d <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-3928743972\"><div id=\"pwtor-639721438\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>AEW announced in a press release today that Tully Blachard has signed a multi-show deal with the promotion.
