"Why he slap that man like that? He was leaking. Why did he think that was cool? WWE is so slick with it. They came out and said, 'Yeah, wrestling is real.' That was bleeding. That man can't hear shit," Melo said on his 7PM in Brooklyn podcast.

When co-host Kazeem Famuyide mentioned that The Rock told Travis he needed to make it look good, Melo commented, "He told him, 'Make it count. Slap the shit out of him.' If I was Cody Rhodes, I would have got out of character. Jumped right up. 'Cut.' Travis Scott's ass is grass. You don't slap nobody that hard. First of all, you gotta learn how to slap somebody. You don't slap them straight down. You gotta cuff the ear a little bit. You know he was extra excited."
