Ted DiBiase Confirms He's Signed To A WWE Legends Deal
DiBiase also spoke about how his 2021 NXT run came about
May 18, 2023
Everybody has a price, and for WWE Hall of Famer Ted DiBiase it's whatever number is printed on his WWE Legends contract.
The Million Dollar Man confirmed he is still tied to the company during a recent Q&A sessions at the For the Love of Wrestling event.
As part of a wider discussion around his 2021 spell in NXT, DiBiase said:
"I had a blast (in my stint with NXT). I'm on what they call a Legends contract. So I make myself available to them and I'm at their disposal if they should happen to call me any time and it's rare and so that was one of those rare times when they called me and they said, 'Look, we've got one of our young guys here. His name is Cameron Grimes, who legitimately invested in the stock market and hit big and over night, you know, got a whole lot of money and so we've come up with this storyline where we're gonna have him start acting like you' and then have me come along, for example, he's in a jewelry store and he's buying a watch and so he holds up this beautiful gold Rolex, it's diamond-studded and everything and I walk up behind him and I hold up this diamond bezel watch that is just diamonds everywhere and I say, 'Nice watch kid. But it's not a million dollar watch' and then I go (does signature laugh) and walk out the door and just leave him going (upset) and it's I continue to do things.
"Anyway, we just had fun with it for a while and it actually went a little longer than they anticipated that it was gonna go because it basically got over so well. But yeah, when L.A. Knight got involved, I saw the skill that he had as well. The focus first was on Cameron Grimes but I saw the talent in L.A. Knight and I mentioned that to a couple people and they said, 'Yeah, we know' and this has helped bring that out in him too and obviously, he's moved on up…".
DiBiase last appeared on WWE television during Raw is XXX on January 23.
His sons Brett and Ted Jr. are currently embroiled in a scandal where they have been accused of misappropriating welfare funds intended to help needy families in Mississippi.
