The third revival came in 2021 for the NXT brand division for a storyline between DiBiase, Cameron Grimes, and LA Knight.
[4] This also led to a face turn for the Big Boss Man, who resented his manager Slick selling his services to DiBiase in order to retrieve the belt from Roberts.
After attacking Roberts and stealing the bag containing the belt and Roberts' pet python named Damien, DiBiase, the Boss Man, and Slick headed for "The Brother Love Show" where DiBiase bragged about buying the Boss Man's services.
The Boss Man then told both Slick and DiBiase that he could not be bought and immediately returned the bag to Roberts, who had been left handcuffed to the ring ropes.
Virgil won the match,[7] however, DiBiase regained the championship with the help of Repo Man at Survivor Series Showdown.
[9] Ted DiBiase would later go on to award the championship to his newest protégé, The Ringmaster, on his arrival in the WWF in January 1996 (pre-taped in December 1995).
After DiBiase left WWF (with the storyline reason of Austin lost a match against Savio Vega on May 28, 1996), the title was again abandoned.
Nearly a year later, when DiBiase was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame on March 27, 2010, he had the Million Dollar Championship belt with him.
[13] WWE's official website confirmed the reactivation of the unsanctioned championship under DiBiase Jr.'s profile.
[17][18] Over the next few weeks, "The Million Dollar Man" would continue to one-up Grimes, outbidding him in various purchases.
[26] The center plate features three large dollar signs that are entirely filled with cubic zirconia, and there are three small diamonds on the back.
