Travis Scott was allegedly told by The Rock to “slap the sh*t out of” Cody Rhodes at WWE Elimination Chamber

As seen during the 2025 WWE Elimination Chamber PLE, John Cena officially turned heel against Cody Rhodes and “sold his soul” to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. It was reported that Cody possibly suffered a busted ear drum at the hands of rapper Travis Scott during the attack.

While appearing on The Ankler Podcast, WWE President Nick Khan and Paul “Triple H” Levesque commented on what happened…

Khan: “Paul (Triple H) did tell Travis after, like, ‘Hey, that was a pretty hard slap. We’ll show you how to pull your punches a little bit.’ Travis said, ‘Dwayne Johnson told me you better slap the s**t out of him, or people are gonna think that you don’t have it. So I just did that’ and (Triple H) chuckled and I chuckled.”

Triple H: “It was incredible. Ironically, the only person that didn’t complain about the slap was Cody Rhodes, he just wanted it to look good and like I said, Travis is like a kid in a candy store in that thing. He’ll be at WrestleMania. A lot of people will be at WrestleMania.” (quotes courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
