• Titus O’Neil Will Search For Love In New Show
WWE Global Ambassador Titus O’Neil, real name Thaddeus Bullard, will star in a new dating reality series titled Kings Court, airing on Bravo this summer.
The show is a spinoff of the 2023 Peacock series Queens Court. Bullard will join supermodel Tyson Beckford and former NBA All-Star Carlos Boozer as the three leads looking for love among 21 single women. The series will be hosted by Holly Robinson Peete and Rodney Peete and is set to premiere on Sunday, July 13 on Bravo, with episodes available on Peacock the next day.
In the show’s first trailer, Bullard addressed how he thinks people might view him. “I’m 6’5, 280 pounds, yeah, I’m very intimidating to a lot of people,” he said. “Until someone gets to know me and they realize Thaddeus is a pretty sweet guy.”
Titus O’Neil’s last match in WWE took place on the November 9, 2020 episode of RAW, where he lost to Bobby Lashley in a United States Championship match. He remains active in WWE as an ambassador.
He is also known for his charity work with the Bullard Family Foundation and received the Warrior Award at the 2020 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony.
His top accomplishment in the ring was being the WWE Tag Team Champion as part of The Prime Time Players with Darren Young.
