Biography
Ted DiBiase is the scion of true wrestling greats. Not only is he the son of “The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase, but he is the grandson of “Iron” Mike DiBiase. The third-generation Superstar’s place on the Raw roster didn’t come without hard work, however. In spite of his privileged upbringing, the younger DiBiase has been paying his dues for years, training with WWE Hall of Famer Harley Race, and dominating the independent circuit, all in preparation for his Raw debut.
DiBiase has made it clear he has one thing on his mind – championship gold – which he got his first taste of by winning the World Tag Team Titles alongside Cody Rhodes. DiBiase is accustomed to getting what he wants, and what he wants is to live up to the legacy of his father. Though it’s a lofty aspiration, with his breeding and training, it seems like an attainable one. On his first appearance in WWE, the third-generation athlete quoted his father, saying “Everybody’s got a price,” but was quick to differentiate himself from his million dollar lineage, clarifying that he was “simply priceless.”
DiBiase went on to form an alliance with a member of another wrestling legacy: Cody Rhodes. The two joined forces and defeated Hardcore Holly to become the new World Tag Team Champions.
The duo would look to another legacy Superstar, Randy Orton, for guidance. With Orton as their mentor, DiBiase and Rhodes both became a better tag team and fierce singles competitors. However, their allegiance with Orton crumbled and they would end up opposing their former leader.
Following his first WrestleMania match, DiBiase was granted access to a trust fund set-up for him by his father, The Million Dollar Man, in which he also inherited the Million Dollar Championship. Now on his own and referring to himself as the “Fortunate Son,” DiBiase uses his trust fund to employ other Superstars to attack his enemies in order to rise to the top. DiBiase has also embarked on a career in Hollywood. He made his feature film debut in WWE Studios’ The Marine 2.
