WWE Hall of Famer Titus O'Neil signs with Stoked Sports & Entertainment

[Ellie40]

Titus O'Neil has signed with Stoked Sports & Entertainment, Fightful reports. O'Neil, whose real name is Thaddeus Bullard, is a WWE Hall of Famer. In late September WWE moved him to the alumni section of its website. That raised eyebrows, because he had stayed with the company in ambassador and community roles long after his in ring career ended

His last WWE match was in November 2020. Since then he has been one of the company's most visible faces outside the ring, doing charity and community work. He received the Warrior Award in 2020 for his work away from wrestling. Moving to the alumni page suggested that chapter had come to an end

Stoked is a management company, and the signing is part of an expansion of its management division. That division is led by co-founder and head of sports Tammy Hunt. The others in the same signing class are NBA veterans Patrick Patterson, Darius Miller and Norris Cole, boxer Shannon Briggs, and Metta World Peace. World Peace is represented through a partnership with Artest Management

Hunt said Titus and this class are exactly the kind of talent Stoked wants to grow with, on the field and well beyond it. Bullard said Tammy and her team think the way he thinks, and that is why he is all in. Neither statement says what he will do next. With his profile, there are plenty of options in media, business and community work

Titus has always been a bit more than a wrestler. His work with young people in Tampa has made a real difference, and his energy is infectious. Signing with a management firm suggests he is looking at a broader career outside WWE. It will be interesting to see what he takes on

What do you think Titus will do next? And how do you remember his time in WWE?
