Tag: Travis Scott

The Travis Scott experiment in WWE is seemingly over, ending what began as a high-profile crossover between the rapper and wrestling. Initially brought in through TKO CEO Ari Emanuel, Scott’s involvement was meant to elevate WWE’s mainstream presence. According to sources though, Scott failed to show up for multiple training sessions and offered minimal input during creative meetings.

This lack of commitment has left many frustrated, including former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre. On Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast, McIntyre argued that Scott ruined what should\’ve been one of WWE\’s biggest-ever moments: the crowning of a 17-time World Champion in John Cena.

\”Do a six-minute run-in at WrestleMania and screw up our damn main event. Travis Scott, piece of s***!\”

With the Scott experiment a dud, WWE has has pivoted to country star Jelly Roll for its upcoming SummerSlam PLE. Jelly Roll will team with Randy Orton in a celebrity tag team match against McIntyre and Logan Paul. The much-anticipated showdown has been confirmed for Night Two of WWE\’s first-ever multi-night SummerSlam.

WWE insiders are already praising Jelly Roll’s eagerness and professionalism, contrasting sharply with the troubles surrounding Scott’s involvement. Jelly Roll, who appeared at SummerSlam last year, has been more than eager to put the work in to make his debut match one to remember.

The rapid shift highlights the inherent risk in celebrity-driven partnerships—especially those arranged through corporate ties rather than fan engagement. With SummerSlam packed with A-list names and high-stakes matches, WWE appears determined to avoid further misfires, seemingly leaving Scott\’s involvement in the past.

Travis Scott has been removed from WWE 2K25\’s upcoming DLC following an undisclosed falling out with WWE, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

The Grammy-nominated rapper was originally scheduled to be revealed as the celebrity surprise for this month\’s DLC announcement. Instead, El Grande Amercano will take Scott\’s spot in the celebrity roster, while Aleister Black has replaced him in the WrestleMania pack.

Last-Minute DLC Changes

The nature of the falling out between Scott and WWE remains undisclosed, leaving fans to speculate about what led to the abrupt change. This marks a significant shift for WWE 2K25\’s DLC strategy, as celebrity inclusions typically generate substantial mainstream attention for the gaming franchise.

El Grande Amercano, the masked luchador character, will now fill the celebrity spotlight that was intended for Scott. Meanwhile, former WWE star Aleister Black\’s inclusion in the WrestleMania pack provides additional star power to compensate for the rapper\’s removal.

Impact on WWE 2K25

Celebrity partnerships have become increasingly important for WWE\’s gaming division, with previous titles featuring stars like Bad Bunny and Logan Paul. Scott\’s removal represents a notable setback in WWE\’s efforts to bridge entertainment and wrestling audiences.

The timing of the change suggests the fallout occurred recently, as DLC announcements are typically finalized well in advance. WWE 2K25 developers likely had to make significant adjustments to accommodate the last-minute roster changes.

Neither WWE nor Travis Scott\’s representatives have commented on the reported falling out. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, known for its industry insider reporting, broke the story without additional details about the dispute\’s cause.

Travis Scott\’s involvement with WWE is in jeopardy following backstage frustrations over his commitment issues.

After several high profile appearances alongside Jey Uso, The Rock and John Cena, Scott has faded from the WWE spotlight.

A new report from Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter indicate that WWE\’s plans for a significant celebrity tag team match involving Scott and Cena have stalled due to Scott\’s lack of commitment.

\”He doesn’t like to commit to anything. He goes half-in, and tries other projects at the same time.\”

– Wrestling Observer Newsletter

It is noted that Scott skipped crucial training sessions and has been challenging to work with. The internal reaction at WWE is pessimistic about Scott\’s future involvement, suggesting they may be ready to move on from him.

\”I heard he was ‘not a quick learner for the business.’\”

WrestleVotes

With Travis Scott’s in-ring prospects fizzling out, WWE has tapped Jelly Roll for the big celebrity tag team match at SummerSlam.

After helping John Cena win the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 41, rapper Travis Scott has been conspicuously absent from WWE programming. A new report has now provided a potential reason for his disappearance, suggesting his wrestling training did not go as planned.

In a response to a fan on Twitter, the account TC WrestleVotes addressed the rumors about what happened to Travis Scott\’s planned WWE storyline. The report claims that Scott\’s progress in learning the in-ring aspect of the business was not going smoothly. “I heard he was ‘not a quick learner for the business,’” WrestleVotes wrote. The report added that Scott also skipped wrestling training sessions, which is why he was absent from last month\’s Money in the Bank event where he was rumored to appear.

Travis Scott made a major splash at WrestleMania 41 when he interfered in the main event to help John Cena defeat Cody Rhodes. The moment went viral and was expected to lead to further appearances and a potential match for the rap icon as part of Cena\’s farewell tour. However, Scott has not been seen or mentioned on WWE television since that night, leading to speculation that the company has quietly shelved its plans for him.

While Travis Scott\’s future with the company remains uncertain, John Cena\’s farewell tour as Undisputed WWE Champion continues. Cena is currently scheduled to defend his championship in a highly-anticipated rematch against Cody Rhodes at the SummerSlam premium live event on August 2nd and 3rd.

WWE is reportedly considering a major match for its forthcoming Money in the Bank premium live event, with PWInsider.com outlining potential creative directions for multi-platinum musician Travis Scott. Internal discussions within WWE\’s creative circles suggest a belief that Scott will be available for the event.

Initial pitches reportedly involve Scott teaming up with current WWE Champion John Cena, with various ideas for either a standard tag team match or a six-man tag team encounter being actively discussed. Adding credibility to Scott\’s potential for a more physical role, it\’s noted that he has been training with WWE Hall of Famer Booker T in Texas.

Further elaborating on these potential plans, a more specific and six-man tag team match has also been proposed. This idea would see United States Champion Logan Paul joining forces with John Cena and Travis Scott. Their opponents in this blockbuster scenario would be the formidable trio of The Usos and Cody Rhodes. Such a matchup would undoubtedly generate significant mainstream buzz and attract a wide audience.

It\’s understood that in any scenario where Cena and Scott team up, Rhodes would likely be positioned as an opponent. However, all these star-studded concepts are currently in the pitch phase and remain creative ideas under consideration within WWE. The company has not yet finalized these plans, and the ultimate direction for Travis Scott\’s involvement at Money in the Bank is still to be determined.

At WWE Elimination Chamber: Toronto, Travis Scott didn\’t hold back as part of the shocking attack on Cody Rhodes that ended the show. Speaking to First Take ahead of WrestleMania 41, Rhodes acknowledged that Scott is an \”incredibly talented guy,\” before also sharing his disdain for the rapper.

\”He kind of sucks. Triple H announced he’s coming to WrestleMania, I’ll be looking for what we call in the wrestling business a little bit of a receipt. Payback.\”

Scott hasn\’t appeared in person for WWE since the attack on Rhodes that also saw The Rock and John Cena leave Rhodes a bloodied mess. Following a particulary stiff shot by Scott to Rhodes\’ ear, it was reported that he had suffered a burst eardrum. Responding to reports, Rhodes laughed off the claim, joking that the bruises he\’d received came curtosy of the Four Horsemen.

Rhodes will battle John Cena at WrestleMania with the Undisputed WWE Championship and the very soul of WWE on the line. And while Rhodes will be focused in stopping John Cena from \’ruining\’ pro wrestling, he may find himself distracted with his quest for payback should Scott appear on Night Two.

H/T – Fightful

Cody Rhodes has revealed a conversation with his daughter over his Elimination Chamber injury.

The Undisputed WWE Champion appeared on the Today show on Thursday morning to promote WrestleMania 41. He discussed things such as John Cena turning heel, his wrestling superstition, and more.

When asked what his daughter, Liberty, thinks about his work, Cody revealed the conversation he had with her after suffering a brutal injury at the hands of Travis Scott at the latest WWE PPV. Rhodes also light-heartedly discussed how it might have an adverse effect on her later on:

\”I wasn\’t thinking I had to have this conversation this early with her. But we did cause I left the ring at Elimination Chamber – Travis Scott of all people put a very large mark on my face and my eardrum was busted. She had a lot of concern.

So what I have told her and I don\’t know if this is the best strategy, is that I\’m pretending to be a superhero and I\’m playing with my friends. So far that works but we\’ll see, cuz I think the moment she sees playing with my friends turn into somebody maybe beating me up. She has a adverse reaction.\”

I Am Looking Forward To: Cody Rhodes

Later in the interview, Cody Rhodes was asked if he has any Hollywood aspirations and the American Nightmare replied positively. When the hosts mentioned that he can probably do it while still being a WWE star, the WWE champion joked about Roman Reigns\’ part time schedule:

\”I feel like so many wrestlers will always answer this and say \’Oh never. No, I\’m always going to be wrestling. I love it so much.\’ I do. I love wrestling. This is all I\’ve ever done. I grew up in wrestling.

But for me I really am looking forward to what it\’s like to tell stories not just in the ring. So for me absolutely, yes. Today, WWE, you can come and go as you please. Roman Reigns, as good as he is, he only shows up like 10 times a year anyway so…no shade.\”

Travis Scott’s involvement in WWE will continue at WrestleMania 41, with the rapper officially confirmed to appear at the event following his dramatic debut earlier this year.

Scott made headlines after teaming with The Rock and John Cena during Elimination Chamber, where the trio shocked fans with a major heel turn, assaulting Cody Rhodes in what has been described as one of WWE’s most memorable segments in recent history.

Despite the strong showing, neither Scott nor The Rock have appeared on WWE programming alongside Cena since the March 1 episode of SmackDown. However, WWE’s Chief Content Officer Triple H has now clarified Scott’s status moving forward.

Travis Scott Just Getting Started in WWE

Appearing on The Ankler Podcast alongside WWE President Nick Khan, Triple H confirmed that Scott will be part of WrestleMania 41, teasing a major moment during the Las Vegas event.

“Travis is a kid in a candy store in that thing,” Triple H said. “He’ll be at WrestleMania… whatever happens in Vegas over WrestleMania weekend will be heard worldwide.”

Cody Rhodes’ Reaction to Travis Scott Injuring Him

The podcast also shed light on the real-life aftermath of the Cody Rhodes segment, specifically a hard slap delivered by Scott. According to Khan, Scott said he was following The Rock’s advice to fully commit to the moment.

“Travis said, ‘Dwayne Johnson told me you better slap the s**t out of him, or people are gonna think that you don’t have it.’”

Triple H added that Rhodes had no complaints about the intensity.

“Ironically, the only person that didn’t complain about the slap was Cody Rhodes,” he said. “He just wanted it to look good.”

With Scott’s involvement now official, fans can expect more crossover moments as WWE continues building mainstream momentum ahead of its biggest show of the year.

Kevin Owens had no sympathy for Cody Rhodes following his recent altercation with Travis Scott—and even less hesitation in publicly endorsing the rapper’s strike.

Appearing on Unlikely with Adrian Hernandez, Owens offered full-throated support for Scott’s viral moment.

“I don’t really know what else you could expect from Travis Scott,” he said. “He did what he knows how to do—he punched a guy right in the face. Personally, I think it was fantastic. Well deserved.”

Asked if there was any lingering resentment behind the reaction, Owens made his reasoning clear.

“Cody had it coming,” he laughed. “If only for the pyro. The selfishness of the pyro. But then all the other stuff too.”

The approval wasn’t entirely random—Owens revealed he had an unexpected history with the artist. Months before Scott’s WWE cameo, Owens attended one of his concerts with his son, not knowing who Scott even was.

“I had never heard of Travis Scott,” Owens admitted. “But I went to the concert, and it was a great time. He singled me out in the crowd—he didn’t know who I was—but he kept telling people to put their middle fingers in the air. I was just sitting there like, ‘I’m 40 years old, I’m not doing that.’ But he made me stand up and do it.”

From crowd antics to in-ring chaos, the KO-Travis crossover feels strangely fated. And in Owens’ book, it’s a full-circle moment—one that ends with a satisfying punch.

“Travis Scott has my seal of approval,” Owens said. Cody, beware.

Travis Scott made headlines at WWE Elimination Chamber when he slapped Cody Rhodes following John Cena’s shocking heel turn alongside The Rock. Now, the rapper appears to be taking his wrestling involvement more seriously.

AEW’s Swerve Strickland, who spent time with Scott at a charity event in January, shared insights into Scott’s enthusiasm for wrestling. Speaking with Bootleg Kev, Strickland revealed that Scott has been training with WWE Hall of Famer Booker T.

“I was on the golf course with Travis not that long ago, and he told me, ‘I\’m excited. I\’m training with Booker T. This is going to be wild,’” Strickland said. “He wanted to talk more about wrestling than music.”

Travis Scott’s WWE Journey So Far

The Rock previously hinted that Scott’s involvement was part of something bigger.

“Yes, that’s why we’re doing it. I love Travis. That’s my guy,” The Rock said after Elimination Chamber.\”

Scott’s relationship with WWE has been growing in recent months. His song 4×4 is the theme for WWE Raw, and he appeared on the January 6 Netflix debut alongside Jey Uso. At Elimination Chamber, Scott actively participated in the attack on Rhodes, reportedly causing a ruptured eardrum and a black eye.

The Rock revealed that Scott was eager to get physical.

“He wanted to get his hands bloody,” The Rock said. “I told him, ‘If you’re gonna do it, make it count.’ He slapped the s–t out of Cody tonight.”

Future WWE Plans

Reports indicate that Scott is training at Booker T’s wrestling academy in Texas. WWE has discussed potential matches for him, though no timeline has been confirmed.

Triple H acknowledged Scott’s involvement, stating, “We have Travis Scott in a storyline right now that will get bigger as we head into WrestleMania and beyond.”

With WrestleMania 41 set for Las Vegas, speculation is growing that Scott could step into the ring. Whether he competes or continues his role alongside The Rock and Cena remains to be seen.

Travis Scott’s Cactus Jack brand has teamed up with WWE to release the “Wrestling Is Real” T-shirt. This collaboration features a heavyweight, 100% cotton short-sleeve tee with a heavy wash and screen print details.

The front showcases the phrase “Wrestling Is Real,” while the back displays an image of Travis Scott standing alongside WWE icons The Rock and John Cena during their recent appearance at the WWE Elimination Chamber event.

The T-shirt is priced at $55 and is available for purchase on both Travis Scott’s official online store and WWE Shop. Orders are expected to ship within 5-6 weeks.

This collaboration follows Travis Scott’s involvement at the WWE Elimination Chamber event, where he appeared alongside The Rock and John Cena during a pivotal moment in the show. 

Bully Ray is pissed at Travis Scott\’s involvement in John Cena\’s heel turn.

The popular music star has received a lot of criticism in wrestling circles after the latest WWE PPV. People have questioned his involvement in the whole angle after reports that his slap led to a ruptured eardrum for Cody Rhodes at the show.

The WWE Hall of Famer was not shy on his thoughts on the matter during the latest Busted Open Radio. He claimed that Scott deserves to have his jaw shattered for what he did:

\”Travis Scott deserves to have his jaw shattered and wired shut. It’s when the mark in the ring all of a sudden decides that he’s a pro wrestler and he knows what the hell he’s doing, and that mark is Travis Scott… Dude, because Travis Scott decided that he’s going to look like some tough guy in front of the world. You got one coming, Travis. I hope it’s from Cody. If it’s not from him, I hope I never see you one day.\”

It\’s worth mentioning that Cody Rhodes has seemingly downplayed the damage from Scott\’s slap. The Rock also noted during the post-Elimination Chamber press conference that Travis wanted to get his hands bloody so he told the rap artist to \’make it count.\’

Despite the hate, it doesn\’t appear we\’ve seen the last of Travis Scott in WWE. The Rock has suggested that he has caught the wrestling bug after his appearance and he is training to get in the ring as a performer down the line.

• The Undertaker Influenced Cast Change For WWE LFG Season 2

Travis Scott shacked fans at WWE Elimination Chamber 2025 in Toronto, where he attacked Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes alongside The Rock and John Cena. Shortly after the event, reports surfaced claiming that Scott’s punches may have legitimately injured Rhodes, leaving him with a black eye and a ruptured eardrum. Rhodes has dismissed the claims, telling wrestling personality Conrad Thompson that Scott didn\’t touch him, but he did sustain bruising.

Scott’s involvement in such a physical role raised questions, particularly given his lack of wrestling experience. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that there was \’heat\’ backstage over Scott\’s moment with Rhodes. People backstage were left questioning why Scott was put into that position with the company\’s top star.

During the post-show press conference, The Rock defended the decision to have Scott involved, revealing that he encouraged Scott to make his attack feel impactful. It\’s been reported that most WWE personnel were unaware of Scott\’s involvement until the segment unfolded, despite plans being in motion since January.

Travis Scott\’s Future in WWE

Despite this incident, fans may be seeing Scott back in the ring soon enough. The rapper has reportedly begun training at a wrestling school and while there\’s no official timeline for an in-ring debut, discussions are happening within WWE about potential matches. Scott himself has expressed a deep passion for the industry, telling Triple H that wrestling might be \”better than performing.\”

Speculation is running rife among fans about Scott competing, with some believing a match with Cena and The Rock against Cody and two allies is coming. Given WWE’s recent success with celebrity wrestlers like Bad Bunny and Logan Paul, Scott could follow a similar path.

Whether he competes or not, Scott\’s role has been cemented in WWE. During Raw\’s debut on Netflix, Scott appeared alongside Jey Uso and his track 4×4 is the show\’s theme song. With his growing relationship with the company, Scott’s presence in WWE may be just beginning, despite some concerns backstage.

Travis Scott didn\’t just align with The Rock and John Cena at WWE Elimination Chamber: Toronto, but he also left Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes hurting. During the climactic three-on-one assault on Rhodes, Scott could be seen striking Cody near his ear, producing a loud thud that caused fans in the Rogers Centre to wince.

Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer revealed that Rhodes sustained a burst eardrum and a black eye at Elimination Chamber: Toronto. Meltzer shared that he was \”pretty sure\” that Scott caused the injuries given the strike to Rhodes\’ ear.

Rhodes didn\’t appear during WWE Raw, selling the effects of the beating he received in Toronto. During the show, Michael Cole confirmed that the American Nightmare will be a part of the March , edition of WWE SmackDown, where he\’ll address all that went down.

Scott ended the night standing tall alongside Cena and the Final Boss but Rhodes might get the opportunity to take revenge on the music artist. Scott has reportedly been training in the ring, and WWE has discussed the possibility of booking him for future matches. During the post-show press conference, The Rock confirmed that fans will see Scott compete in the ring one day.

With Rhodes set to face John Cena at WrestleMania 41, it remains to be seen how their feud will develop in the coming weeks. With Travis Scott now involved, the storyline could take some unexpected turns.

The Rock has made it clear—Travis Scott isn’t just a WWE fan, he’s ready to step into the ring.

Following WWE’s Elimination Chamber event, The Rock spoke to the media and revealed that Scott has a genuine passion for wrestling and will be involved in the business beyond just appearances.

“Yes, absolutely. That’s why we’re doing it. Long gaming. I love Travis. That’s my guy,” The Rock said, hinting at long-term plans for the rapper in WWE.

He added, “Travis Scott is one of the greatest already, of all time. He’s a GOAT, a legend, an icon, and he loves the business.”

Rumors of Scott’s WWE involvement have been circulating for some time, but The Rock’s endorsement suggests the Grammy-nominated artist will do more than just make a cameo.

According to The Rock, Scott is eager to immerse himself in the wrestling world.

“He wanted to get, to steal a term, he wanted to get his hands bloody,” he said.

While no official match has been announced, the idea of Scott stepping into the ring—potentially alongside or against The Rock—adds another layer of intrigue to WWE’s ongoing storylines.

If history is any indication, WWE has successfully integrated mainstream stars like Bad Bunny and Logan Paul into its roster, both of whom delivered standout performances.

If The Rock’s words hold weight, fans might soon witness Travis Scott trading the stage for the squared circle. The only question now is: Who will he face first?
