DiBiase has reportedly sent out feelers into the acting business, but he is said to be not very inetrested in moving to California. As readers may recall, DiBiase does have acting experience through WWE Studios’ film The Marine 2.

It should be noted that Ted DiBiase’s career in WWE has been somewhat of an odyssey considering that WWE officials originally had very high hopes for him when he debuted in 2008. He was a member of The Legacy along with Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes, and it was always well-documented that WWE officials wanted DiBiase to become the next John Cena/Randy Orton type. There were even rumors a few years back that if a young star was to ever end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania Streak, WWE officials were giving some thought to having it be DiBiase.

After the dissolution of The Legacy, DiBiase was on Raw for a while with Maryse Ouellet as his valet, but it didn’t seem to do much for Ted’s career. He was then sent to SmackDown in 2011 and briefly reunited with Cody Rhodes, basically as Rhodes’ henchman while Rhodes went on to capture his first Intercontinental Championship. After Cody captured the I.C. Title, WWE officials gave Ted a small push as a babyface star, picking up a few victories on SmackDown and on Superstars or NXT on WWE.com.

Match 5: Wade Barrett Vs Ted DiBiase Jr.

Wade Barrett comes out before the match and is the first performer of the night to use a wireless microphone (they apparently cleared the issue up over the intermission.) Wade addresses the crowd and starts talking about his recent win streak, which he says proves that he’s the only legitimate fighter currently in the WWE. He then challenges the audience to a fight to prove he’s the toughest man in the building, which draws heat from the audience. The says that though he wants to give everyone in the building a good slap, he doesn’t care much to get arrested, so he’s going to stick to the program and beat whoever comes out to face him. Ted DiBiase obliges and takes a picture with a serviceman at ringside before getting into the ring. The crowd starts to chant “USA!” at this point.

The men square off and do the usual back and forth grappling until DiBiase lands a drop kick and clotheslines Barrett over the ropes to the outside of the ring. The “USA” chant picks up more steam as DiBiase continues to beat Barrett outside of the ring. After the men get back in the ring, DiBiase tries to give Barrett the 10-count punch from the corner, Barrett counters and eventually kicks Ted out of the ring. Barrett follows him outside of the ring and throws DiBiase into the ring apron before throwing him back into the ring. Barrett controls DiBiase with a modified abdominal stretch before DiBiase powers out. Barrett counters with a shoulder throw over the top ring rope to the mat outside the ring. Barrett stays in the ring this time to let the ref count DiBiase out, but DiBiase rolls back into the ring at the count of 9. Barrett attempts the pin afterwards but DiBiase kicks out. The grappling resumes until Barrett throws DiBiase with a pumphandle slam, nearly scoring a pinfall in the process. Barrett continues attacking DiBiase until DiBiase lands a clothesline, at which point both men go down. DiBiase makes it back to his feet first and tries to pin Barrett after hitting him with a slam. DiBiase tries to go for the Dream Street, but Barrett reverses with a spinning slam and nearly scores the pin. Barrett attempts the Wasteland, but DiBiase counters and nearly scores the pin with a rollup. As both men got back to their feet, Barrett landed the Souvenir and subsequently scored the pinfall.

Winner by Pinfall: Wade Barrett
