Seth Rollins addressed Travis Scott’s recent involvement in WWE during an interview with Brandon Tierney and Sal Licata for WFAN. The discussion centered around Scott’s physical altercation with Cody Rhodes at WWE Elimination Chamber.
When asked how he would react if Travis Scott slapped him similar to how Scott struck Rhodes, Rollins expressed concern for the rapper’s safety in a wrestling environment.
I mean look, I have mercy on Travis Scott. That is not a man that needs to be in a wrestling ring with these giant humans. No offense to him, but he’s a cruiserweight, brother. You know what I mean? He can wrestle Rey Mysterio maybe, but he doesn’t know what he’s doing in there. He just whacked him in the side of the head, gave him a big old bruise, busted him open. Just awful. But if Cody gets his hands on him, it’s done and dusted.
Rollins continued by highlighting the physical mismatch between Scott and professional wrestlers, despite Rhodes not being among the largest competitors in WWE.
Cody’s not like Braun Strowman, he’s not Andre The Giant. He’s not a massive guy. But he dwarfs Travis Scott. So if he can get through Travis’ team of people, it’s game over for him. Cody’s a very nice guy, I won’t speak on behalf. But he’s got an undercurrent of frustration in there, especially when he gets taken advantage of in a situation like that, absolutely.
Scott’s appearance at Elimination Chamber sparked controversy when he joined John Cena’s heel turn and physically confronted Rhodes. Reports indicate Scott has been training for possible in-ring competition.
The rapper’s involvement came during Cena’s surprising betrayal of fans as he aligned with The Rock against Rhodes.
