Travis Scott has made several appearances for WWE, including at the Elimination Chamber, where he joined The Rock and John Cena in a beatdown of Cody Rhodes.
At WrestleMania 41, Scott got involved in Cena vs. Rhodes and celebrated with Cena after he won the WWE Title. Triple H discussed Scott’s future with WWE at the post-show press conference.
“When it comes to somebody like Travis, who is very much like a Bad Bunny, where he is just incredibly passionate about WWE. Incredibly passionate. I’m putting words in his mouth, but I would imagine one of the most important things in his life is music. I would say a close second is WWE. That’s how into it he is,” Triple H stated. “Same for Bunny, same for Jelly [Roll]. For me, that’s an opportunity for them to come in here and put different eyeballs. A lot of crossover fans between the two. It’s an opening for us to get some different eyeballs on it. That’s a side thing for me.
To me, working with somebody like Travis Scott, who has every reason in the world to walk in with an ego and be the biggest star in music and all that stuff. For him to come in here and put all that aside and be a little kid. Be a little kid living a dream,” Triple H noted. “Be a little kid living out a fantasy to where he can step in the ring and it’s all from a respect place. The most crushing thing for Travis in the world would be if he went out there and screwed it up. He comes back, he’s like a kid at Christmas. He walked backstage tonight after he was done and was like, ‘Dude, I gotta be serious, this is like my full-time job now, I’m telling you.’ Two minutes later, I said, ‘See you at work tomorrow.’ He loves it. If he’s out there having fun and you feel it and it’s good, it’s amazing.
Having somebody like him be a part of this, he’s wide open to anything. This guy is the biggest musician in the world, and he’s out there getting hit with Cross Rhodes and doing all this stuff. If he gets injured, I’m sure that’s not helpful to his music career,” Triple H continued. “It’s fully out of a place of respect. When I see him with our talent and crew, he’s the most respectful guy and is like a kid in the candy store with this stuff. When people are like that, it makes me want to work hard for them and help them see that dream come true. Could we see him do more and step in the ring? Just gotta tune in.”
