The Rock Explains Travis Scott’s Involvement At WWE Elimination Chamber

The Rock has explained Travis Scott’s involvement at WWE Elimination Chamber.

The eight-time Grammy Award nominee accompanied ‘The Final Boss’ to the ring in Toronto as he arrived to discover if Cody Rhodes would indeed hand over his soul in exchange for money and power beyond his wildest dreams.

Popular US-based rapper Scott was inside the squared circle when Rhodes emphatically delivered his answer to the delight of the raucous crowd on hand at the Rogers Center.

Moments later John Cena shocked the world by turning on Rhodes to align with The Rock, with Travis Scott delivering a disrespectful slap of his own to ‘The American Nightmare’ before helping Cena to hold down Rhodes as he was viciously whipped by ‘The Great One’ with a custom made belt.

The trio were pictured together in the aisleway as the wild Premium Live Event came to a close, leaving many to wonder as to what was behind Travis Scott’s involvement.

The Rock opened up about his friendship with the former MTV Video Music Award winner during the Elimination Chamber Post-Show Press Conference, comparing Scott’s participation to the revered 1980s link between MTV and WWE.

The former WWE Champion would also go on to reveal that it was possible that the 33 year-old could compete in a bout in the future:

“Yes, absolutely. That’s why we’re doing it. Long gaming. I love Travis. That’s my guy.

Where we have expanded to in WWE, I feel like professional wrestling has always found its unique place in culture throughout the decades. We remember Rock N Wrestling, Cyndi Lauper, Hulk Hogan, we remember the Attitude Era.

Pro wrestling has had its place in culture for some time. I think we are tapping in to a unique time now, I’m not quite sure what we name this era, we’ll all figure it out. Someone will come up with something cool, I’ll say it and take credit for it.”

The Rock Heaps Praise On Travis Scott

The TKO Board member went on to sing the praises of Travis Scott, labelling the former partner of Kylie Jenner as an ‘icon’ who was keen to get involved in a physical way:

“I feel like with Travis, he loves the business and loves pro wrestling. He’s a culture guy. Travis Scott is one of the greatest already, of all time. He’s a GOAT, a legend, an icon, he loves the business.

We get guys and girls like that who want to come in and who are already tapping into the culture and disrupting culture in their own cool way. They want to come in, have fun at the show. Maybe they want to sit and enjoy or be on camera. But some want to get involved.

Some, like Travis, deeply want to get involved. That’s what you saw tonight. We have this opportunity to create this big moment in pro wrestling that is arguably one of the biggest, maybe the biggest, and we had an opportunity to bring Travis Scott in too and start to form a union and an alliance with The Final Boss and Travis Scott.

He wanted to get, to steal a term, he wanted to get his hands bloody. I whispered to him as we were going out, ‘if you get your hands bloody, make it count. Make it count.’ He slapped the sh*t out of Cody. He was really hyped up.

Travis landed, we went in, had some words, chopped up what the night was going to look like, and I caught a contact high for about three hours, and I loved it. I need Travis every time I do an appearance. Travis smoke with Teremana, it’s game over.”
