DiBiase said, “Let’s go back to when Cody and my son Ted Junior were basically together and their camera point. Where you know and my son shared this with me. He said daddy said there came a point where you know like Vince got mad at Cody about something, and they’re standing there together, the two of them.”

The Million Dollar Man added, “And he says, he says, and this is back when they’re an A-Team, he says, ‘I’m not going to let you screw up and destroy his future’ and point out that my son Ted Jr. I said, ‘Man, I think bi*ches probably had to eat those words.’ Now, you know, there’s goodies. You want to stay.”

For several months around 2008 to 2010, Rhodes was in a tag team with DiBiase Jr. They won the World Tag Team Titles on two occasions. Moreover, they were in Legacy, which was led by Randy Orton.
