Cody Rhodes WrestleMania history: How 'The American Nightmare' has done at WWE main event

[ASFN Admin]

It's been quite the road to the main event of WrestleMania for Cody Rhodes.

The Undisputed WWE Champion will be in the WrestleMania main event for the third consecutive year, defending his title against John Cena at WrestleMania 41. He's been one of WWE's biggest stars ever since he returned to the company in 2022, coincidentally at WrestleMania. However, it wasn't always like that.

When Rhodes' started his wrestling career, he was mostly known as the son of WWE Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes. He didn't get many big opportunities, and as a result, didn't have many notable matches at wrestling's biggest event. It took him leaving and forming All Elite Wrestling for him to become a superstar, and he's remained a big figure ever since. Before he faces Cena in Las Vegas, here's a look back at his matches at WrestleMania.
