They say that anything can happen in the world of professional wrestling, and fans found that out at Elimination Chamber when John Cena turned heel and aligned himself with The Rock and Travis Scott. Cena, The Rock and Travis Scott all beat Cody Rhodes down at the end of the show, and Travis delivered a slap to Cody’s face during the segment.
Swerve Strickland recently talked about Travis Scott’s appearance at Elimination Chamber on Bootleg Kev and he addressed Scott’s slap to Cody Rhodes. The former AEW World Champion also revealed that Travis Scott has been training with Booker T.
“That’s a very excited artist who finally got to do his dream. You’re in there with the two biggest icons that we have left. The two biggest icons that have ever done it. Of course you’re excited, and you’re with the world champion, so this is the guy who (represents) this era moving forward. That’s a lot of excitement and pressure. That’s what happens when you get excited with someone who is not in our industry. It’s an exciting moment. It’s a crossover thing and he doesn’t know.”
“I think they wanted it so it could feel natural. Sometimes you want the natural reaction from other people outside of wrestling. You want them to be natural, flow, and feel. Then, it’ll feel real. Then that stuff happens and it’s, ‘Ah, too far. Too much.’ I was on the golf course with Travis not that long ago. He didn’t know that was coming, but he was telling me, ‘I’m excited. I’m training with Booker T. This is going to be wild.’ He wanted to talk more about wrestling than music. He was excited. I was like, ‘Make sure you take care of yourself and others.'”
So far no official announcements have been made, but The Rock did tease during the Elimination Chamber post-show press conference that Travis Scott could potentially step into the ring in the future.
