Cody Rhodes addressed the rumors about rapper Travis Scott during the WWE Elimination Chamber event in March. In the main event of the WWE Premium Live event, John Cena triumphed in the men’s elimination chamber match. Cena then confirmed his upcoming match against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41 for the undisputed WWE Championship, setting the stage for a highly anticipated showdown.
During the event, Travis Scott made a surprising appearance, siding with Cena and delivering a slap that resulted in Rhodes sustaining busted eardrums and black eyes—an injury Cody later confirmed was caused by Scott’s slap. Despite this, Rhodes expressed respect for Scott’s involvement, noting his imposing presence and joking about why he didn’t counterattack with his signature move, Crossroads.
Though reports have suggested the relationship between WWE and Travis Scott may be strained, Rhodes hinted that the rapper might make a return. He welcomed Scott back, emphasizing that WWE is a home for such crossover appearances, despite occasional challenges. Additionally, Rhodes hinted that at WrestleMania 41, he is expected to lose John Cena’s title.
