The on-screen animosity between Travis Scott and Cody Rhodes has a surprising behind-the-scenes chapter, as revealed in the new Netflix docuseries, WWE: Unreal. The fourth episode of the series showed the rapper reaching out via FaceTime to check on Rhodes immediately following their intense physical segment at WWE Elimination Chamber.
The confrontation occurred after Rhodes rejected an offer from The Rock, which prompted Scott, The Rock, and John Cena to launch a beatdown on the former Undisputed WWE Champion. During the assault, Scott slapped Rhodes, a strike that appeared to legitimately injure The American Nightmare and led to the backstage follow-up.
The docuseries captured the aftermath, with Rhodes being evaluated by medical staff while on the call with Scott. Both men inquired about each other’s well-being after the altercation. The rapper revealed that despite performing for massive audiences, he had never experienced anything like the wrestling environment and was now addicted to the product. In response, Rhodes promised to help him anytime he was involved with a show.
This friendly interaction provides a stark contrast to their televised feud. While the slap appeared authentic enough to warrant a backstage check-in, their on-screen rivalry has continued, fueled by the animosity from the attack in Toronto.
