Mogul Embassy

Mogul Embassy or simply the Embassy is a villainous professional wrestling stable appearing in All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and its sister promotion Ring of Honor (ROH), led by Swerve Strickland and Prince Nana. The remaining members, Brian Cage, Toa Liona and Bishop Kaun are former two-time ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champions.

History

Ring of Honor (2004–present)

The Embassy was formed in Ring of Honor in 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, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona and Jonathan Gresham. 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.

On December 10, at Final Battle, The Embassy defeated Dalton Castle and The Boys to become the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champions.

All Elite Wrestling (2022–present)

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 November 1, 2023, episode of ''Dynamite'', Mogul Embassy defeated The Elite ("Hangman" Adam Page and The Young Bucks ( Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson) 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)).

New Japan Pro-Wrestling (2023)

On November 13, 2023, it was announced that Gates of Agony (Liona and Kaun), would make their New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) debut, by competing in the 2023 World Tag League. The duo were announced to be competing in the A-Block. On November 29, Gates of Agony would seemingly join House of Torture, but would reveal it to be a trick on the following December 1st show. The duo finished with 4 points and were unable to qualify for the semi-finals.
