WWE fans can anticipate Travis Scott’s presence at WrestleMania following his physical involvement in the WWE Elimination Chamber’s closing moments, where John Cena’s heel turn saw him align with The Rock to attack Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes.
During the segment, Scott notably slapped Rhodes forcefully on the side of the head. Initial reports suggested that Travis faced backstage “heat” within WWE due to the intensity of the slap.
However, Nick Khan and Triple H addressed Scott’s participation in the segment during their appearance on The Ankler Podcast.
Khan recounted, “Paul (Triple H) did tell Travis after, like, ‘Hey, that was a pretty hard slap. We’ll show you how to pull your punches a little bit.’ 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. So I just did that’ and (Triple H) chuckled and I chuckled.”
Triple H added his perspective, stating, “It was incredible. Ironically, the only person that didn’t complain about the slap was Cody Rhodes, he just wanted it to look good and like I said, Travis is like a kid in a candy store in that thing. He’ll be at WrestleMania. A lot of people will be at WrestleMania.”
