Travis Scott reportedly actually injured Cody Rhodes in real life during their moment in the ring at a recent WWE event. The Cactus Jack rapper appeared at the end of the Elimination Chamber premium live event in Toronto on Saturday (March 1), where he accompanied The Rock to the ring while his hit “FE!N” blared through the speakers.
The two began by confronting WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and John Cena, when one of the most notable moments in wrestling history occurred as Cena turned heel on Rhodes, siding with The Rock. After Cena and The Rock began beating on Rhodes, Scott soon joined in and gave the wrestling champ a hard slap to the face as he laid face down on the mat – with blood gushing.
Now according to a new report from Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, the injury was actually real and not just for TV. “Cody got hurt. I’m pretty sure it was Travis Scott that did it,” Meltzer said. “I’ve heard he had a busted eardrum and a black eye.” He was reportedly treated at a local hospital and released. The report has not been confirmed by the WWE, however. The Rock discussed Travis Scott’s participation in a press conference after the event. He said: “Travis wanted to get his hands bloody. I whispered to him as he was going out to the ring. I said, ‘If you’re gonna get your hands bloody, make it count.’ He slapped the shit out of Cody tonight. He was really, really hyped up.”
The wrestler and actor added: “He loves the business. We get guys and girls like that who want to come in and who are already tapping in culture and disrupting culture in their own cool way. “Maybe they want to sit and enjoy, maybe they want to be on camera. But then some want to get involved and then some, like Travis, deeply want to get involved. And that’s what you saw tonight.” Johnson then teased that the Utopia hitmaker, who has previously collaborated with the WWE, would soon have an actual match himself: “Yes, that’s why we’re doing it. I love Travis.
That’s my guy.” He also said: “We have this opportunity to create this big moment in pro wrestling that is arguably one of the biggest — maybe the biggest, some fans’ words, not mine — and we also had an opportunity to bring Travis Scott in too and start to form a union, an alliance with The Final Boss and Travis Scott.”
