Cody Rhodes is a man on a mission as he aims to 'finish his story' at WrestleMania 40. Come April 7, The American Nightmare will get another shot at Roman Reigns' Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. However, before this high-profile rematch, Rhodes will team up with Seth Rollins to face Reigns and The Rock in a tag team bout on Night 1 with some significant stakes on the line.
However, as WrestleMania 40 inches closer let's take a look at the chances of The American Nightmare winning at The Showcase of the Immortals by looking at his win-loss record at 'Mania thus far.
As of this writing, Rhodes has competed across ten iterations of WrestleMania. The list starts with WrestleMania 24, where Cody Rhodes suffered a loss in a pre-show 24-man Battle Royal, which determined the no. 1 contender for the ECW Championship. Further, Rhodes wrestled at WrestleMania 26, where the two-time Royal Rumble winner clashed against Randy Orton and Ted DiBiase in a Triple Threat bout. Despite his best efforts, the former AEW TNT Champion swallowed a loss, with The Viper emerging as the victor.
At WrestleMania 27, The American Nightmare finally secured a win on the Grandest Stage of Them All by defeating Rey Mysterio in a singles contest. However, at the 28th 'Mania, he lost again, this time to Big Show. Subsequently, Cody participated in 'Manias 30, 31, and 32, where he was handed nothing but losses.

However, the WrestleMania losing streak came to an end when Cody Rhodes made his return at 'Mania 38 and secured a triumph against Seth Rollins. At The Show of Shows last year, the 38-year-old star failed to secure a win in his match against Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
So out of ten WrestleMania participations, The American Nightmare has only been a winner in two matches, which seemingly lowers his chances of winning at this year's Showcase of the Immortals.
Meanwhile, it's hard to compare Rhodes' old stats with the current situation, given his increased popularity following his return.
Cody Rhodes is currently the favorite to win at WrestleMania 40
Cody Rhodes may not have the most illustrious WrestleMania history, but the recent betting odds stated that The American Nightmare is presently touted to dethrone Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40.
As per BetOnline_ag, Cody Rhodes is a massive -700 favorite to emerge as a victor against The Tribal Chief in the bout next month. Regardless of the outcome, The American Nightmare vs. The Tribal Chief should throw up yet another mouth-watering WrestleMania main event.
