10 Wrestlers With Longest Time Between First & Last WWE Raw Matches

1. Ted Dibiase - 26 Years, 5 Months, 8 Days

Money Inc
WWE

First Raw Match: 15th February 1993

Last Raw Match: 22nd July, 2019

Ted Dibiase was still on quite the evil tear in early 1993, even if his time as an in-ring full-timer was sadly coming to a rather quiet conclusion. The start of the year had been all about prepping Money Inc for a WrestleMania scuffle with The Megamaniacs, itself a vehicle to bring Hulk Hogan back into the fold just under a year after he'd stepped away at the 1992 'Show Of Shows'.

It meant him featuring regularly on Raw, including this clash with Brutus Beefcake that ended in a brutal beatdown of 'The Barber' and his surgically repaired face.

Dibiase was still flexing his power and wealth over a quarter of a century later, procuring the 24/7 Championship with a "victory" over Alundra Blayze on the Raw Reunion special that saw a host of legends and returnees take a turn with the trinket. He surrendered it on the same show to Drake Maverick later that night, but he'll likely hold on to this historical curio as a result.
