#6 Ted DiBiase Jr., WWE World Tag Team Championship - 2008

A Priceless debut

Ted DiBiase Jr. was someone who WWE higher-ups had handpicked as one of the company's stars of the future. Being very young, skilled, having great looks, charisma and the son of one of the all-time greats, it's actually not all that surprising that DiBiase's first match saw him land gold.

The son of the 'Million Dollar Man' made his WWE main roster debut in May 2008, quickly showing similarities to his father. DiBiase then challenged WWE World Tag Team Champions Cody Rhodes and Hardcore Holly to a title match at the Night of Champions pay-per-view, to face he and a partner of his choice, to be revealed at the event. Come the night itself, as DiBiase entered the ring, he claimed his partner was running late and asked for a few more minutes.

As Hardcore Holly was about to approach him, Cody suddenly pulled him back and nailed him with a DDT. DiBiase then announced Rhodes as his partner and hit Holly with the Million Dollar Dream to pin him.

It was quite heartening to see the sons of two WWE legends partner together despite how different and contrasting their old man's gimmick was.
