Travis Scott Removed from WWE 2K25 After Fallout with Company

Travis Scott is officially out of WWE 2K25. The rapper was reportedly set to be a surprise playable character in the game’s downloadable content—until things fell apart behind the scenes.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Scott had a “full falling out” with WWE, leading to his complete removal from the game’s DLC lineup. He was replaced by a fictional character named El Grande Americano in one pack and by returning star Aleister Black in the WrestleMania-themed pack.

The fallout comes after Scott’s involvement at WrestleMania 41, where he played a key role in helping John Cena win the Undisputed WWE Championship. That storyline has since been scrapped, and WWE appears to be distancing itself entirely from the rapper.

The Observer also reported that it’s now “open season to knock him” internally, which lines up with Drew McIntyre’s recent comments. On the Impaulsive podcast, McIntyre didn’t hold back, calling Scott a “piece of sht”* over the chaos that unfolded during the WrestleMania match.

While WWE has often brought celebrities into their video games to attract crossover attention, many longtime fans weren’t thrilled with the idea. Feedback reportedly showed that players would rather have more actual wrestlers on the roster than celebrity guests.

Behind the scenes, it was also noted that Scott struggled during his early training sessions. Sources said he wasn’t a quick learner when preparing for an in-ring debut—yet another reason his WWE chapter may have quietly ended.

With Scott out of both the game and storyline plans, it looks like WWE is closing the book on this short-lived partnership.
