* [[BreakupBreakout The Jannetty]]: [=DiBiase=] was originally intended to be the BreakoutCharacter of Legacy, but Wrestling/CodyRhodes ending being it in the long run. Ted wasn't able to get over with his dad's gimmick or with Maryse, and eventually ended up jobbing to Daniel Bryan all the time because the rest of the midcard on RAW was being elevated to main event status. Cody, meanwhile, developed his "Dashing" gimmick. Then Rey Mysterious broke his nose, making him "Un-Dashing"; that gimmick ended up making him one of the top heels of the company.

* LesserStar: [=DiBiase=] was originally intended to be the BreakoutCharacter of Legacy, but Wrestling/CodyRhodes got it instead.

** SpoiledSweet: The next logical step, finally taken after his HeelFaceTurn [[TheDogBitesBack biting back against]] CodyRhodes.
* PowerStable: Was part of Legacy with CodyRhodes and RandyOrton.

* StraightMan: Plays this often, in particular when compared to the [[LargeHam hamminess]] of his dad, the evil of Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes.

* LesserStar: DiBiase was originally intended to be the BreakoutCharacter of Legacy, but instead CodyRhodes got the job instead.

** [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. Daddy's hand-me-downs got tiring fast, trading in the family servant for a [[GoldDigger gold-digging girlfriend]] and outright giving dad back the Million Dollar title. This culminated into him finally becoming a more philanthropic sort of rich guy after turning face.

* DemotedToExtra: Has rarely appeared on TV since 2012 while CodyRhodes has been getting more TV time as of late.

* TheDogBitesBack: After he had enough of Cody's bullshit.
