Ted Dibiase Jr-WWE News (Patreon)

Ted Dibiase Jr was in Legacy, but WWE didn’t consider him a necessary part of Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes’ legacy.

With Dibiase Jr’s natural connection to Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes, many fans expected him to be involved in the WrestleMania main event feud. That didn’t happen, although Dibiase was in the building filming his reactions, he wasn’t involved and never was planned to be involved in the program. We’re told there was never serious consideration for him to be involved. 

Dibiase was just found not guilty of welfare fraud, clearing the way for a possibility, but Randy Orton said on Culture Kings that that Ted Jr owes him $25,000. We’re told that was serious, but we weren’t given the context of why. 

Dibiase attended WrestleMania with his lawyer but was not an invited guest of WWE. Instead, he was in town for WrestleCon. One source speculated that he was sponsored by the water company on his shirt for a ticket.
