Will Ted DiBiase JR Show Up During The Road to WrestleMania?

Ted DiBiase Jr has been acquitted on all charges relating to his welfare scandal case. It’s a case that he’s been fighting for years, and his name is finally clear. He’ll have some time on his hands, could we see him appear as part of the build to WrestleMania? While Ted’s far removed from wrestling, he has obvious ties to one of the biggest matches on the card, in Randy Orton vs Cody Rhodes for the WWE Undisputed Championship.

Years ago, there was a stable that looked to be the present and future of professional wrestling. A stable built around one of the top wrestlers in the company at the time, Randy Orton. The Legacy was formed in 2008 and flirted with Sim Snuka and Manu as members, before finalizing on the trio of Orton, Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase Jr.

The Legacy was all over WWE TV from 2008 - 2010, and are one of the most memorable acts from this era. Nostalgia acts mostly always play in wrestling, and I think there is a world where Ted Jr appears on a Smackdown leading up to WrestleMania.

Would fans remember Ted DiBiase Jr? Pardon the pun, but what’s his legacy in WWE? If you can remember back to 2010, the Internet Wrestling Community thought DiBiase was going to be the bigger star, not Cody Rhodes. Cody Rhodes has entered mega-star status at this point, while DiBiase hasn’t wrestled in years. But yes, there was a time where it was thought that Ted had a brighter future than Cody Rhodes. He had gotten the lead role in a WWE Films production as the star of The Marine 2, was more physically imposing than Cody and seemed to have more charisma. However, things never clicked for Ted.

Would you like to his Ted DiBiase Jr appear during the build to WrestleMania or even at WrestleMania? I go back to the “never say never” thinking in wrestling. It was true under Vince McMahon, and CM Punk returning proved that it’s true under Paul Levesque as well. If it makes sense, it’ll happen. I think it kind of makes sense.

Book This Episode 1: The Summer of Punk Rebooked Prelude

Let’s go back to 2011, specifically June of 2011. CM Punk’s contract is expiring soon and he’s getting ready to have the biggest run of his career. On June 27th, 2011 CM Punk would cut a promo that would have the wrestling world buzzing for years to come. In his promo, Punk said that his contract expired next month and that he, the Number One Contender, would be leaving WWE with the WWE Championship. He’d also go onto take shots at not only his opponent the following month, John Cena but other icons in the history of WWE. Whether employed by the company or not. He’d also tease defending his WWE Championship in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Essentially he’d be a travelling World Champion, ala the territory days. Well, CM Punk did win the WWE Championship the next month from John Cena at Money in the Bank. However, what would happen after would disappoint wrestling fans more than anything else that’s happened in years. How t...

If John Cena Beats Cody Rhodes he Technically Becomes an 18-Time World Champion

John Cena won the Elimination Chamber on Saturday night and secured an Undisputed WWE Championship match against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania this April. What followed was a shocking heel turn that fans have wanted for years. That’s not what I’m talking about here. We’re talking about how John Cena will technically become an 18-time World Champion if he beats Cody Rhodes. That would put him two ahead of Ric Flair. Ever since Roman Reigns beat Brock Lesnar to unify the WWE Championship and the Universal Championship. From that point on, WWE recognized Roman as having two Championship reigns. With the Universal Championship and with the WWE Championship. Same with Cody Rhodes when he beat Reigns for the Undisputed Championship at last year’s WresteMania. If you look at WWE’s website it shows two concurrent reigns for Cody. If Cena beats Cody it’s always possible that WWE in the future recognizes this as one World Title reign instead of two. There’s a few of Flair’s reign...

Bobby Lashley Issues Warning to Jon Moxley

Bobby Lashley debuted in All Elite Wrestling on October 30th last year, rejoining his former WWE stablemates MVP and Shelton Benjamin, forming The Hurt Syndicate. Lashley and The Hurt Syndicate are one of the hottest acts in AEW right now with Lashley and Benjamin winning the World Tag Team Titles last month. It’s inevitable that Bobby Lashley will get a World Championship shot at some point. He’s very over right now and a legit main event talent. Lashley gave a warning to AEW World Champion Jon Moxley when speaking to the Sporting Tribune . Lashley said it’s only a matter of time till they face off but he’s focused on his tag team right now. Lashley said that when Jon Moxley sees him in the locker room, he stays clear of him. Despite being cheered like a babyface, Bobby Lashley is a heel and Jon Moxley is also a heel so I don’t see them facing off soon. But I like the idea of a Moxley/Lashley match whether it’s for the Title or not. Saying that, I’d also be a fan of Bo...
