🔴 Ted DiBiase to handpick Sam Rigleer's opponent at WrestleMania: 10min*
Sam Rigleer and Ted DiBiase have been one of the all-time great factions to ever step foot in an FBW ring, but their team has fallen apart years ago when Sam Rigleer pursued his own interests on Raw while Ted DiBiase held the WWE Title briefly on SmackDown during the very first brand extension. Ted DiBiase would then exit WWE for personal reasons. Since then, Ted DiBiase and Sam Rigleer have never looked eye-to-eye, but several weeks ago on Raw's 15 Year anniversary, Ted DiBiase made his return to WWE for the first time in years for a one-on-one faceoff with a returning Sam Rigleer. The confrontation didn't go as planned when Ted DiBiase refused to rejoin Sam Rigleer to reform RRD, an ancient faction of Ted, Sam, and Roman Reigns. Sam Rigleer disputed the decision as a cowardly move and that Ted DiBiase just doesn't have "it" anymore.
And several weeks ago on Raw, Sam Rigleer offered one last chance for Ted DiBiase, claiming the two would either be together like old times, or Ted DiBiase must compete in the ring with Sam Rigleer to prove he still got it. Three weeks ago on Raw, Ted DiBiase Jr. made his entrance to deliver news that his father "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase will be inducted in the 2023 Hall of Fame Class, but during this dear announcement, Sam Rigleer launched a vicious ambush on DiBiase Jr., perhaps for ignoring the ultimatum set by Rigleer!
Two weeks ago on Monday, Sam Rigleer opened Raw to a round of mixed reactions to address his situation with Ted DiBiase as a way for him to "crave a path" to WrestleMania. Sam Rigleer argued that provoking DiBiase may be the way to force his hands into a match! After this address, Kevin Owens interrupted Sam Rigleer to deliver some news in regards to his own road to WrestleMania. This chat between Owens and Rigleer ended when the two agreed to have a match right there and then as a way to build momentum ahead of WrestleMania.
Sam Rigleer would then lose the match due to an interference from Ted DiBiase, thus handing Rigleer his first loss since returning to Raw.
Last week, Ted DiBiase enjoyed every second of what he did to Sam Rigleer and revealed he's glad he finally got his hands on The Paramount Star. However, the good times came to an end when Rigleer later in that night ambushed Ted DiBiase!
Tonight, Ted DiBiase confronted Sam Rigleer telling him that he will have his representation face Sam Rigleer this weekend at WrestleMania!
However, Ted DiBiase does not rule out the possibility of lacing a pair of to face Rigleer himself!
🔴 "Stone Cold" Kevin Owens vs. Local Competitor: 7min*
A month ago on Raw, Kevin Owens took a week off to "figure things out" en route to the most stupendous event, and he returned two weeks ago to interrupt Sam Rigleer with a piece of must-see news.
Kevin Owens revealed that after long reflection he feels it's only befitting that he hosts a KO Show at WrestleMania in Dallas, Texas. His guest? WWE Legend and the Texas rattlesnake Stone Cold Steve Austin!
This past weekend, Stone Cold Steve Austin accepted Kevin Owens' invitation.
Last week, Kevin Owens revealed that The Texas Rattlesnake Steve Austin was coming to Raw tonight, but is he?
The highly anticipated return of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin ends up being the impersonation of Steve Austin by Kevin Owens himself!
From the bold hair to the short jeans to the Stunner, Kevin Owens played the "Steve Austin Role" against a local competitor to pick up the win!
