This year’s WWE events featured celebrities like IShowSpeed, Travis Scott, and Jelly Roll stepping into the ring. IShowSpeed participated in the men’s Royal Rumble and notably eliminated Otis. During the WWE Elimination Chamber, rapper Travis Scott delivered a slap to Cody Rhodes’ face that resulted in Rhodes suffering busted eardrums and black eyes, courtesy of the “American Nightmare.” WWE SmackDown star Jacob Fatu expressed that Travis Scott deserves to be on the receiving end of a spear move from Bron Breakker next.
Fatu shared on the “Club 520 Podcast,” praising Speed’s performance and saying that Travis Scott should also get a spear, highlighting the intensity of the action. He pointed out how Scott landed a direct palm strike on Rhodes without even throwing a punch and compared different spear moves, mentioning that his cousin, Jay Uso, experienced a particularly violent spear recently.
Although Scott appeared at the Elimination Chamber and WrestleMania 41, plans for further WWE appearances, including tag team matches with 17-time world champion John Cena, fell through. Reports indicated WWE grew frustrated with Scott’s inability to commit to scheduling, leading to both sides parting ways, and Scott hasn’t been seen on WWE TV since. It remains unclear if these issues were connected to the scheduling conflicts.
Fan Take: This story highlights the growing trend of mainstream celebrities crossing into the WWE world, showing how outside influences can bring fresh energy and attention to wrestling. For WWE fans, seeing stars like Travis Scott involved shakes up the usual routine and might pave the way for more exciting, unexpected collaborations in the future.
