Ted DiBiase Jr. has mostly been in the news because of a long-running federal case, not wrestling. He was arrested in April 2023 and later went to trial over accusations tied to a Mississippi welfare-funds fraud scheme; as of early 2026, reports say the case was still active and his request for a mistrial was denied.

What happened

  • He left WWE in 2013 after a run that never fully lived up to the early hype around him.
  • In 2023, he was arrested and indicted on fraud-related charges connected to alleged misuse of public funds in Mississippi.
  • Recent reports from early 2026 say the criminal trial moved forward, and a mistrial request was rejected.

Why people still talk about him

Ted DiBiase Jr. was once seen as a major prospect because of his Legacy storyline with Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes, so the contrast between that push and his later legal troubles has kept him in wrestling conversation.

Quick scoop

If you mean “where is he now,” the short answer is: he is no longer a WWE figure, and his current spotlight has been on his federal criminal case rather than wrestling.
