• At the Elimination Chamber 2025 PLE, John Cena turned heel in one of the most shocking moments in WWE history. During the history-making segment, rapper Travis Scott slapped Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes so hard, The American Nightmare suffered a busted eardrum.
During an interview with Adrian Hernandez of Unlikely, Kevin Owens approved of the infamous slap.
“I don’t really know what else you could expect from Travis Scott. He did what he knows how to do. He punched a guy right in the face. Personally, I think it was fantastic. Well deserved. Cody had it coming. If only for the selfishness of the pyro, but then all the other stuff too. Travis Scott has my seal of approval.”
Owens lost to Rhodes at the 2025 WWE Royal Rumble PLE in a Ladder Match for the Undisputed WWE Championship.
