7 More Names Advertised For WWE RAW 25th Anniversary Show

by Michael Sidgwick

1. Ted DiBiase

Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase
WWE

Given the depths to which WWE are plumbing ahead of the show, the return of Ted DiBiase, Jr. wouldn't be a major stretch - but, thankfully, it's the real Million Dollar Man set to shower us with the glorious riches of his best wrestling laugh ever in the Manhattan Center.

But who to laugh at?

Since the entire storyline between Bray Wyatt and WOKEN Matt Hardy is basically just both men laughing at each other, over and over again, we'll probably bear witness to some sort of Triple Threat variation on the night, which is fitting. January is following a bizarre rule of three pattern: Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin are set to wrestle the Usos in a 2 out of 3 falls match at the Royal Rumble in what is just the latest fascination with the number.

In numerology, it is tied with the concept of creativity, ironically enough.
