Travis Scott might be eyeing a new career in professional wrestling following his electrifying appearance at WWE’s Elimination Chamber event. The rapper joined WWE superstars Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and John Cena in the ring, and the experience left him hooked.
“Bro, this might be better than performing,” Scott, 33, said in a video shared on X (formerly Twitter) on March 4. “It was like a whole ‘nother vibe. In the ring, I was like, ‘We about to be straight bad guys.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, it’s about to hit.’”
Travis Scott Plans to Build a Wrestling Ring at Home

The Rock Praises Travis Scott’s Performance
During a press conference after Elimination Chamber, The Rock praised Scott for his enthusiasm and in-ring performance.
“He wanted to get his hands bloody,” The Rock told Variety. “I whispered to him as he was going out [to the ring], ‘If you’re gonna get your hands bloody, make it count.’ He slapped the s*** out of Cody tonight. He was really, really hyped up.”
The Moana star also noted that Scott’s passion for wrestling could lead to more involvement in the industry.
“We get guys and girls who are already disrupting culture in their own cool way,” The Rock continued. “Some just want to be on camera, but some, like Travis, deeply want to get involved. And that’s what you saw tonight.”
Did Travis Scott Injure Cody Rhodes?
However, Scott’s Elimination Chamber cameo may have had unintended consequences. According to wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer (Wrestling Observer Radio), Scott may have legitimately injured WWE star Cody Rhodes during their brief in-ring altercation.
“Cody got hurt. I’m pretty sure it was Travis Scott that did it,” Meltzer claimed. “I’d heard Rhodes suffered a busted eardrum and a black eye.”
Rhodes was reportedly treated at a local hospital and later discharged, though WWE has not yet confirmed the injury.
