Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day, featuring WrestleMania 41, Cody Rhodes, and Travis Scott.
• Cody Rhodes Reveals What He Has Planned For Travis Scott At WrestleMania 41
WWE President Nick Khan and Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque appeared at The Ankler’s Business of Entertainment program at NAB Show, where they discussed Travis Scott slapping Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes at Elimination Chamber 2025.
You can read their conversation below:
Nick: The Travis Scott – John Cena heel turn, what was that in terms of social media impressions?
HHH: It was a couple hundred million.
Nick: It was insane. Paul (Levesque) did tell Travis after, ‘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 sh*t out of him or people are going to think you don’t have it.’ Paul chuckled and I chuckled. It was a pretty big moment for us.
HHH: It was incredible. Ironically, the only person that didn’t complain about the slap was Cody Rhodes. He just wanted it to look good. Travis was like a kid in a candy store on that thing. He’ll be at WrestleMania, a lot of people will be at WrestleMania.
The American Nightmare appeared on ESPN First Take today and had the following to say regarding Travis appearing at WrestleMania 41:
“For as talented as he is, Travis Scott kinda sucks. Triple H announced he’s coming to WrestleMania. I’ll be looking for what we call in the wrestling business, a little bit of a receipt.”
