Ted DiBiase Jr. is heading to Las Vegas this month for WrestleCon 2026.
The former WWE star was announced as an autograph and photo op guest for the fan convention, which runs all four days of WrestleMania 42 weekend. The announcement came via WrestleCon's official social media, presented by 123 Talent.

It marks DiBiase's first public wrestling-related appearance since a federal jury in Jackson, Mississippi acquitted him on all 13 counts of conspiracy, wire fraud, theft, and money laundering on March 20. He faced up to 185 years in prison stemming from his involvement in what became Mississippi's largest welfare scandal, in which federal indictments accused the former MDHS director of directing welfare dollars to two nonprofits, which then awarded sham contracts to various individuals including DiBiase's companies.
DiBiase maintained throughout the trial that he earned the money legitimately and never stole a dime. After the verdict, he said outside the courthouse: "I'm going to live again. I'm going to continue to serve people because that really is who I am."
DiBiase, a WWE roster member during the 2000s and 2010s and the son of Ted "The Million Dollar Man" DiBiase Sr., has not competed in WWE since 2013. A civil suit seeking to recover misspent funds remains ongoing and names DiBiase among dozens of defendants.
WrestleMania 42 takes place April 19 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
