Major WWE Star Claims Travis Scott “Screwed Up” WrestleMania Main Event
A top WWE star doesn’t think much of Travis Scott.
At SummerSlam, Drew McIntyre will team with Logan Paul to take on Randy Orton and singer/songwriter Jelly Roll.
In a recent interview, Jelly Roll revealed that he’s been training at the WWE Performance Center on a daily basis for around four weeks after quietly moving to Orlando, Florida. He added that he’s been working hard alongside coach Matt Bloom and did a three-hour in-ring workout with Jacob Fatu.
The Undertaker, Michelle McCool, and Kevin Owens have also been among the WWE stars to help him out.
To promote the match, McIntyre appeared on the latest episode of Paul’s Impaulsive podcast, and the conversation quickly turned to Jelly Roll and other celebrity wrestlers. Unsurprisingly, McIntyre isn’t a fan.
Paul: I see [Jelly Roll] supposedly training. Supposedly, he’s been training.
McIntyre: That’s the rumor. I’m not getting feedback, positive or negative, but apparently, you just do it for a couple of weeks, and magically, you’re good at it.
We have anomalies. Yourself. I have to put you over, how quickly you took to this. Clearly, you’re a natural athlete. The Kurt Angles of the world, Ronda (Rousey), obviously, when she came in. Yourself.
Jelly Roll, with that major athletic background that I’m always hearing about as a kid and all the sports he played. I don’t know, dominoes in jail, I assume?
Paul: That’s my issue with him. I came in as a lifelong athlete, and now that I do this, I find it a little insulting that a celebrity thinks they can come into the business and get the green room and fly on the jet.
McIntyre: Do a six-minute run-in at WrestleMania and screw up our damn main event. Travis Scott. Piece of sh*t.
Paul: I’m sick of the outsiders. No disrespect to Jelly Roll outside of WWE, but in WWE, I fully intend to disrespect him a lot.
WWE Drops Travis Scott Plans
After appearing on Monday Night Raw’s debut on Netlfix, Travis Scott continued to feature in high profile spots across WWE programming. He was in the ring when John Cena turned heel as well as that ill-fated run-in during the main event of WrestleMania 41.
This was followed by reports that the rapper had started training for a match, but it now appears that all plans for an in-ring debut have been dropped.
After it was claimed that the star struggled to pick up “the business,” another report noted that WWE management had simply run out of patience with Travis Scott, and had decided to move on without him.
