Travis Scott made a surprise appearance at Elimination Chamber alongside The Rock. The Grammy-nominated artist didn’t just show up—he played a role in the shocking heel turn of John Cena. While his involvement was minimal, Scott got physical by attacking Cody Rhodes. However, the rapper’s actions have reportedly led to a legitimate injury for The American Nightmare.

According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Travis Scott has ruptured Cody Rhodes’ eardrum. Additionally, his wild slap left the Undisputed WWE Champion with a black eye. While there is no backstage backlash against Scott in WWE, his actions have caused a legitimate injury and significant pain for Rhodes.

According to Fightful, the Grammy-nominated rapper is training in a WWE ring to prepare for a potential match. While he got physical during Cena’s heel turn, he has been missing cues. As a result, he needs more time to properly adapt to in-ring competition. Reports also suggest that WWE is grooming the 33-year-old for more appearances in the future.

The report also suggests that Scott could play a role in the ongoing storyline between John Cena and The Rock. His star power brings significant mainstream attention to WWE, making him one of the standout figures from last week’s event. It will be interesting to see how his involvement in WWE unfolds in the coming weeks.
