Professional wrestling star Cody Rhodes has finally clarified the widely speculated incident involving rapper Travis Scott at WWE’s highly anticipated Elimination Chamber event, confirming a significant injury sustained during the main event’s dramatic conclusion.

The Elimination Chamber pay-per-view culminated in a shocking main event where Rhodes initially appeared victorious, standing alongside John Cena, who seemingly secured a WrestleMania 41 title shot. However, this triumphant moment quickly devolved into chaos, revealing a carefully orchestrated ruse designed to ambush Rhodes.

With the unexpected assistance of wrestling legend The Rock and musical icon Travis Scott, John Cena turned on Rhodes, delivering a brutal beatdown that left the “American Nightmare” bloodied in the ring. A key, particularly impactful moment involved Scott striking Rhodes in the face, a visual that immediately sparked intense fan discussion and concern.

Addressing the incident directly on a recent podcast appearance, Cody Rhodes humorously admitted that he wished someone else could take credit for the injury, confirming that Travis Scott’s sizable hand did indeed cause a ruptured eardrum. Despite the pain, Rhodes’s account maintained a lighthearted tone, acknowledging the unique nature of the celebrity involvement.

Rhodes expressed immense respect and admiration for Scott, highlighting the significance of such high-profile figures gracing the wrestling world. He emphasized that attracting celebrities of Scott’s caliber was historically challenging for professional wrestling, appreciating their presence despite the unexpected physical consequences.

Extending an open invitation, Rhodes welcomed Scott to return to WWE anytime, affectionately stating, “Our house is your house.” He playfully suggested Scott might “swing less” next time, reinforcing the amicable nature of their interaction despite the accidental injury.

Curiously, the compelling storyline involving The Rock in the main event was abruptly and entirely removed from WWE programming shortly after the Elimination Chamber. His involvement, which included assisting Cena in what became one of the most controversial decisions in recent memory, was never fully explored, leaving many fans questioning the sudden shift in narrative direction.
