A Million Dollar Investment in Ted DiBiase Jr.

The Legacy team have provided numerous distractions and interferences to ensure that Randy Orton remains WWE Champion, yet, how has Orton repaid them?

After Legacy lost the Unified Tag Team Title match at The Bash, due to Teddy Long adding the newly formed team of Chris Jericho and Edge, Ted DiBiase Jr. questioned Orton's lack of support in their title pursuits.

On Monday Night RAW, “The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase, the special guest General Manager, provided Legacy with career-defining matches: Cody Rhodes against “The World’s Strongest Man” Mark Henry; and his son, Ted DiBiase Jr., against WWE Champion Randy Orton.

Cody Rhodes requested that DiBiase change the match; but instead, Cody received an earful from the diabolic "Million Dollar Man." “The American Dream” Dusty Rhodes, Cody’s father, is still considered DiBiase's leading archrival since 1990. The match was left unchanged, resulting in Cody Rhodes counting himself out.

Ted DiBiase is the Million Dollar Man because he has always been a smart investor, from the Million Dollar Belt, to the Ring Master, Steve Austin, so naturally he would invest in his son's future. The opportunity to face Randy Orton in a non-title match would further prove DiBiase's claims of his son destined to become WWE Champion.

The DiBiase-Orton match was truly impressive, as DiBiase Jr. fared well against the veteran Orton. Remarkably, DiBiase Jr. almost won the match with a backslide pin, but Orton kicked out. Then DiBiase Jr. desparately tried to connect with Dream Street but was struck with the RKO. After struggling to win a hard fought match, has Orton found new respect in his protégé, or will Legacy suffer an "unexpected" loss in their Night of Champions's title match?

DiBiase Jr. took out his loss on his father, viciously slapped him across the face and warned him to stay out of his life. Yet that didn't stop DiBiase from making a monumantal announcment, as a result of Legacy's interference in the #1 contender's main-event, Orton will face both Triple-H and John Cena, in a WrestleMania XXIV rematch, at Night of Champions for the coveted WWE Title.
