Major Star Lost WWE and Triple H’s Support Despite Being Ari Emanuel’s “Personal Client”

Travis Scott’s future in WWE remains uncertain.

Scott’s entrance into the WWE spotlight started strong. The rapper made noise with his involvement at Elimination Chamber, helping John Cena begin his heel turn, and again at WrestleMania 41, interfering in the main event to aid Cena’s win over Cody Rhodes.

After that, fans expected Scott to play a major role in Cena’s farewell storyline, especially in marquee events like Money in the Bank. Instead, he’s been completely absent, and now the reasons behind his WWE disappearance are coming to light.

WWE and Triple H Gave Up on Travis Scott Despite His Powerful Connections

Triple H and his team had mapped out big plans for Scott, including a proposed six-man tag match at Money in the Bank: Scott, Logan Paul, and Cena vs. Cody Rhodes and The Usos. When that match fell through, Cena and Paul were booked to lose to Cody and Jey Uso instead.

But WWE didn’t stop there. They reportedly pitched another idea to get Scott in the ring at SummerSlam. This time, it would’ve paired Scott with Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre against a babyface team.

According to The Wrestling Observer, Scott is reportedly a personal client of Ari Emanuel. Despite being supported by Endeavor and TKO Chairman, his lack of commitment quickly caused things to fall apart.

Multiple insiders confirmed the Stamford-based promotion gave Scott every chance to prove he could handle an in-ring program. He was said to be training, but not consistently or seriously. WWE executives, including Triple H, eventually pulled back their support after determining that Scott’s unreliability was making the situation unworkable.

A source close to the situation explained, “He [Scott] doesn’t like to commit to anything. He goes half-in and tries other projects at the same time. And since he’s a personal client of Ari, everyone tried to accommodate until it just became too much to deal with.” [H/T ITR Wrestling]

Instead, WWE turned to country music star Jelly Roll, who is now set to team with Randy Orton at SummerSlam against Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre. That slot was likely meant for Scott, who was expected to play a heel role. Jelly Roll, on the other hand, fits the babyface spot WWE wanted to fill.
