The partnership between WWE and rapper Travis Scott has completely dissolved, culminating in his removal from the upcoming WWE 2K25 video game. According to a report from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Scott, who was slated to be a downloadable character, was cut following a “full falling out” with the company.
This development also scraps the major storyline that began at WrestleMania 41, where Scott’s controversial interference helped John Cena win the Undisputed WWE Championship. The company appears to be distancing itself entirely from the rapper, with his spot in the game’s DLC being filled by the fictional El Grande Americano and returning star Aleister Black.
The internal atmosphere has reportedly soured on Scott, with sources indicating it is now “open season to knock him.” This sentiment was echoed publicly by Drew McIntyre on the ImPaulsive podcast, where he referred to Scott as a “piece of sht” when discussing the WrestleMania incident.
Fan feedback also played a role, as many players expressed a preference for having more actual wrestlers on the roster instead of celebrity guests. Adding to the friction were reports of Scott’s difficulties during training sessions, where he was described as not being a quick learner in preparation for a potential in-ring debut.
With his video game appearance and future storylines canceled, WWE has effectively closed the book on its brief and tumultuous collaboration with Travis Scott.
