Top 5 wrestlers who turned down a contract with WWE

The Hottest Free Agent in sports entertainment finally gets his contract

#4 Ted DiBiase

DiBiase rejuvenating the million dollar gimmick

The young prodigy entered WWE with profound skills, backed by the DiBiase nametag.

As a part of a faction, consisting of multi-generation superstars, The Legacy; DiBiase enjoyed two strong years. The villainous stable had its own (not so little) showdown at Wrestlemania XXVI, where the three members of the faction battled it out, with Orton coming out on top.

Following Wrestlemania XXVI, DiBiase embarked his singles career and rejuvenated his father’s gimmick by becoming the Million Dollar Champion. He was also featured in a Marine chronology movie called Marine 2, as the lead. The film was produced by the WWE.

Even though, he had all the attributes to become the 'next big thing' in WWE. Ted DiBiase chose to hang his boots in 2013, citing family reasons as the cause. Around this time DiBiase became a father and refused to renew his contract, as he wanted to spend time with his newly extended family.

While speculation of Jr. DiBiase’s return has surfaced on different occasions, Ted has been adamant about not returning to in-ring action.
