• Cody Rhodes Reveals “Apology Gift” From Travis Scott Following Eardrum Injury
While Travis Scott’s venture into WWE ended on a sour note, Cody Rhodes has revealed a surprising behind-the-scenes peace offering from the rapper. In a recent TikTok video, Rhodes shared that Scott gifted him a pair of high-end designer shoes as an apology for an injury sustained at Elimination Chamber 2025.
The injury occurred when Scott was involved in John Cena’s high-profile heel turn. During the chaotic attack, a slap from Scott left Rhodes with a damaged eardrum. “He secretly gave (the shoes) to me after he slapped me in the ear, to make me feel better,” Rhodes explained. “He gave them to me because he blew my eardrums.”
Despite the “make-good” gift, the two remained rivals on-screen. Scott infamously interfered in the main event of WrestleMania 41, helping Cena defeat Rhodes for the WWE Title.
However, the partnership between Scott and WWE dissolved shortly after. The artist reportedly left the company on bad terms, leading WWE to scrap a planned Cena and Scott tag team for Money In The Bank 2025. Cena instead teamed with Logan Paul, while Scott vanished from WWE programming entirely.
• Chelsea Green Reveals What She Does When A Wrestler Gets Released From WWE
During an interview with Denise Salcedo, Chelsea Green revealed how she helps wrestlers who get released from WWE:
“Whenever anyone gets released, the first thing I do is I message them, and I give them the names of – I’m sure everyone hates me for this, but the girls love me for it – I’ll give them the name of the AEW people that I know that they can contact, and the name of the TNA people that they can contact, and then anyone else that, ‘I think you could work here, here and here.’
Like, ‘I think Billy Corgan would be great with NWA’ or ‘Tommy Dreamer, contact him.’ I just want everyone to have an opportunity.”
• The Miz Reveals Which WWE Release Was Very Tough For Him
During his interview on Chris Van Vliet’s Insight podcast, The Miz talked about Dolph Ziggler’s WWE release:
“Every time there’s a release, I’m like, ‘Oh no, is it me?’ [Dolph Ziggler’s WWE release] was a tough one for me to see him go, because it was kind of like the last of my really core group of friends. I have friends, obviously, in the locker room, but that was my core group of friends.
I was like, man, I’ve had such great matches with Dolph too. Him putting his career up and me, the IC Title. That whole IC title reign, he was a big part of elevating that title as well. During that time for me, and so to see him go is tough, but that’s the name of this business, it happens, those type of things happen.
For me, this is going to sound very cocky and arrogant. I know how valuable I am. I know how good I am, and whether the audience sees it or not, I know people know. If you’ve wrestled me – you know.
So yes, there’s always in the back of your mind, ‘Oh, is it me? Is it me? Is it me?’ But then there’s also that other part that goes, ‘I’ve done a lot in this business, and I still got more.'”
