Backstage Heat on Travis Scott for Cody Rhodes Attack – Travis Scott’s surprise involvement in the closing moments of WWE Elimination Chamber has drawn significant backstage heat after reportedly injuring Cody Rhodes. The rapper got physical during the post-match beatdown when John Cena shockingly turned heel, aligned with The Rock, and attacked the Undisputed WWE Champion.
The Rock delivered belt shots to Rhodes, and Scott also took part in the attack. Reports from Wrestling Observer Radio earlier in the week suggested that Rhodes may have suffered a busted eardrum. However, on the latest 83 Weeks Q&A, Conrad Thompson noted that when he reached out to Rhodes about the injury, the champion downplayed it but acknowledged he had taken some damage.
According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the blow from the segment was what “legit broke Rhodes’ eardrum and left him with a black eye.” The incident reportedly led to frustration backstage, with many questioning why Scott was placed in that position. Some within WWE believe that while Scott was instructed to make his strike look convincing, he may have gone too far.
The fallout from this situation continues, with many discussing whether celebrity involvement in physical segments should be handled with more caution moving forward. With WrestleMania 41 on the horizon, it remains to be seen if this will impact Rhodes’ road to the event.
