"This might be better than performing": Travis Scott gets candid about wrestling after WWE cameo

Travis Scott, known for his music career and high-energy performances, recently stepped into the world of professional wrestling. His appearance at WWE’s Elimination Chamber event on March 1, 2025, caught many by surprise; but his enthusiasm after the experience was even more unexpected.

Travis Scott later commented,

“This might be better than performing,”signaling that wrestling had left a strong impression on him.

His part in the event, however, was not controversy-free. WWE Champion Cody Rhodes got hurt after a run-in with Scott, sparking debates on the rapper's involvement in the bout.

Travis Scott joined in an unforeseen in-ring appearance at WWE Elimination Chamber

At the Elimination Chamber event, Travis Scott appeared with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. The evening was turned upside down when John Cena, a WWE veteran favorite, assaulted Cody Rhodes, appearing to signal a change in his wrestling character.

The rapper physically intervened, slapping Rhodes, an action that received instant reactions from fans and commentators. Though celebrity appearances are not rare in WWE, Travis Scott's extent of involvement was exceptional.

The event made it difficult to distinguish between scripted and actual action, with Scott's involvement introducing an element of unpredictability. The audience argued over whether his actions were part of the scripted plan or if the situation got out of hand and beyond its original intent.

Cody Rhodes suffered actual injuries after the incident

Soon after the incident, it was reported that Cody Rhodes had sustained genuine injuries, a black eye among them, along with a torn eardrum. Professional wrestling is all about staged action, but genuine injuries do happen, and this one was enough to make people talk about the dangers.

Travis Scott's contribution, while reportedly staged, ignited debate regarding WWE performers' safety when non-professional wrestlers invade the ring. Some fans saw the crossover as a thrilling bonus to the program, while others wondered if that kind of appearance should be tightly regulated to ensure no actual injury.

WWE is still silent as to whether or not Scott's participation was devised in its entirety or if physical contact led to an unforeseen consequence.

After his WWE visit, Scott spoke about the experience, calling it a special environment that was not similar to anything he had experienced before. According to him,

"It was like a whole 'nother vibe," indicating that wrestling was a different type of energy than what he experienced with his music performances.

His remarks have sparked speculations regarding if he would be open to considering additional participation in wrestling. Although he has not made any formal plans public, his apparent interest has generated rumors of future partnerships with WWE or even an in-ring appearance short of a guest cameo.

Future possibilities for being part of WWE are yet unclear

With Travis Scott's remarks creating interest, there has been speculation over whether he will make a further appearance in WWE. Names such as The Rock have spoken out in the past in favor of involving celebrities in wrestling, and Scott's inclusion has already created significant interest.

According to reports, WWE may be willing to include him on a further occasion, but nothing has been officially stated regarding plans. For the time being, La Flame continues to pursue a music career, but his response to the wrestling experience shows that this could not be an isolated incident.

Whether he returns as a recurring figure in WWE or just takes the experience in as a fan, his incursion into professional wrestling has begun a dialogue that goes beyond the confines of a single evening.
