10 Wrestlers You Were Totally Wrong About

At a glance, the decision to throw Ted DiBiase Jr. and Cody Rhodes into a unit alongside WWE's resident Legend Killer Randy Orton seemed like a sure-fire way to groom two potential stars of tomorrow into a pair of main event sensations; It worked with Evolution, right?

And while Rhodes would ultimately go on to deliver the goods further down the road - albeit with a decent amount of unanticipated detours - the son of the legendary Ted DiBiase never quite caught fire in the way many assumed he would do.

He absolutely looked the part. Could hold his own in-between the ropes. And was definitely growing more confident as a character on the mic before the aforementioned group's eventual split.

However, when DiBiase Jr. was finally given some room to breathe as a solo act, WWE lazily attempted to simply make him the second coming of The Million Dollar Man. As expected, that failed miserably.

And on the back of doing very little of note in the years that would follow, DiBiase Jr. eventually decided enough was enough in 2013, turning down the chance to re-sign with the company after suffering from depression and anxiety.

And just like that, a star many once felt had all the makings of another 2nd generation top-level talent would never step in-between the WWE ropes again.
