World Wrestling Entertainment
DiBiase first appeared on WWE television on May 26, 2008, where he said he was going to become a champion like his father WWE Hall of Famer, Ted DiBiase, and challenged the World Tag Team Champions, Cody Rhodes and Hardcore Holly.[6] At Night of Champions, DiBiase won the World Tag Team Championship in his first match in WWE, after Rhodes turned on Holly, and decided to team up with DiBiase.[7][8] They held the titles for a month, but then lost them to John Cena and Batista on August 4.[9] The next week, DiBiase and Rhodes had a rematch, and won the titles back.[10][11]
DiBiase and Rhodes were joined by Manu, but on the October 27, 2008 episode of Raw, DiBiase and Rhodes lost their championship to CM Punk and Kofi Kingston.[12] DiBiase was then taken off television, so he could film the movie The Marine 2.[13]
