Cody's WrestleMania debut came the previous year in 2010, as he was part of a triple threat match featuring the members of Legacy. But he was not supposed to be in the match. The original plan for WrestleMania 26 was to have Randy Orton face Ted Dibiase in a singles match, without Cody getting involved.

Cody spoke about how he wasn't going to appear at 'Mania before Orton stepped in. He made the pitch to change the match into a triple threat match because he thought Cody deserved it. With the triple threat match, we got a full-blown Legacy implosion and certainly, a more satisfying ending to the Legacy storyline than we would have ever gotten.

This was one of the better spots he got at WrestleMania during his WWE career and a very valuable first experience. Cody has The Viper to thank for that.
