Travis Scott had a hand, literally, in one of the most shocking moments in WWE history as he stood by while John Cena betrayed Cody Rhodes and aligned with The Rock at WWE Elimination Chamber.
In the segment, Scott delivered a hard slap to Rhodes that left him with a busted eardrum.
Speaking at The Ankler’s Business of Entertainment program at NAB Show, WWE President Nick Khan and Triple H commented on Scott's involvement and the slap.
Khan said, "The Travis Scott-John Cena heel turn, what was that in terms of social media impressions?"
"It was a couple hundred million," replied Triple H.
Khan continued, "It was insane. Paul [Levesque] did tell Travis after, 'Hey, that was a pretty hard slap. We'll show you how to pull your punches a little bit,' Travis said, 'Dwayne Johnson told me you better slap the shit out of him or people are going to think you don't have it.' Paul chuckled and I chuckled. It was a pretty big moment for us."
Triple H added, "It was incredible. Ironically, the only person that didn't complain about the slap was Cody Rhodes. He just wanted it to look good. Travis was like a kid in a candy store on that thing. He'll be at WrestleMania, a lot of people will be at WrestleMania."
The Rock has not appeared on WWE television since WWE Elimination Chamber.
