Travis Scott’s WWE Future in Jeopardy After Backstage Frustration Over His Commitment Issues

Travis Scott lit up WrestleMania 41 when he helped John Cena defeat Cody Rhodes to win the Undisputed WWE Championship—but since then, the rap star has gone completely off the WWE radar. Now, we finally have some clarity on why he vanished.

According to a new update from Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE had originally been considering a major celebrity tag team match involving Scott and Cena, stemming from their angle at Elimination Chamber and WrestleMania. But those plans quietly fell apart—and now we know why.

Meltzer reports that the internal reaction in WWE when asked about the rapper’s status was less than optimistic:

“He doesn’t like to commit to anything. He goes half-in, and tries other projects at the same time. And since he’s a personal client of Ari, everyone tried to accommodate until it just became too much to deal with.”

That sentiment matches what WrestleVotes previously posted when a fan asked why Scott had vanished after WrestleMania. The insider account bluntly said:

“I heard he was ‘not a quick learner for the business.’”

Behind the scenes, it’s been said Scott skipped several key training sessions, including preparation for a planned appearance at WWE Money in the Bank. His lack of discipline reportedly became a headache for those trying to incorporate him into John Cena’s retirement storyline.

What was supposed to be a landmark crossover moment is now looking like a one-and-done cameo. WWE hasn’t mentioned Scott since WrestleMania, and the slow-burning frustration behind closed doors suggests they may be done trying to make it work.
