A potential surprise appearance could be in play for WrestleMania 42 weekend, with a WWE Hall of Famer raising the possibility of Ted DiBiase Jr. returning.
Ted DiBiase Sr. discussed the idea of his son, Ted DiBiase Jr., making a comeback appearance during WrestleMania 42 weekend in Las Vegas. Speaking on Everybody’s Got a Pod, DiBiase pointed to the presence of several of his son’s former peers at the top of WWE, including Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes.
“All the guys that he started with, they’re there, and they’re the stars now. Orton, Cody,” DiBiase said, before suggesting a potential scenario. “I just wonder… maybe it’s me wanting to see something happen, see my son kind of come out of the crowd and get in the ring.”
DiBiase was quick to clarify that he does not have any inside knowledge, describing the idea as wishful thinking rather than a confirmed plan.
“I don’t have a clue. I’m just maybe wishful thinking… maybe this is the start of him coming back and getting back in the business. He’s not too old to still do it.”
Ted DiBiase Jr. competed in WWE from 2008 to 2013, most notably as part of the Legacy faction alongside Orton and Rhodes, before stepping away from full-time competition. He is currently scheduled to appear at WrestleCon during WrestleMania week, fuelling speculation that a return could be possible, even if nothing has been confirmed.
Ted DiBiase Jr.’s Recent Legal Battle
Ted DiBiase Jr. has recently been found not guilty on all charges in the Mississippi welfare fraud case, with a jury delivering the verdict after around four hours of deliberation. DiBiase had faced multiple counts, including wire fraud, theft, and money laundering, which could have resulted in a lengthy prison sentence.
He maintained his innocence throughout and, following the verdict, said, “They got it right,” while crediting his legal team and reflecting on the impact the case had on his family.
