Cody Rhodes Breaks Silence on Travis Scott Incident, Reveals Unexpected Gift After Painful WWE Injury

Cody Rhodes has finally shared a surprising behind-the-scenes detail from one of the most talked-about celebrity moments in recent WWE history—and it involves Travis Scott making amends after a real injury.

Travis Scott’s brief WWE run didn’t leave much of an impact inside the ring, but it certainly left a mark on Rhodes. During John Cena’s shocking heel turn in March 2025, Scott got physically involved in the angle, delivering a strike that legitimately damaged Rhodes’ eardrum. At the time, the incident raised eyebrows, especially given Scott’s lack of wrestling experience.

Now, nearly a year later, Rhodes has revealed how the rapper tried to smooth things over.

In a TikTok video, “The American Nightmare” disclosed that Scott quietly gifted him an expensive pair of designer shoes as a way to apologize for the injury. According to Rhodes, the gesture came without much fanfare—and he didn’t even notice it at first.

Rhodes explained that the shoes had been sitting in his bag for a long time before he realized where they came from, adding that Scott slipped them to him after the incident to make him feel better about the damage to his ear.

While Rhodes would later get some payback at WrestleMania 41, the situation didn’t fully swing in his favor. Scott interfered in the match, helping John Cena defeat Rhodes in Las Vegas, keeping the rivalry—and controversy—alive on the grandest stage.

Shortly after WrestleMania, Travis Scott disappeared from WWE programming altogether. Reports later suggested his exit wasn’t on the best terms, leading WWE to scrap planned ideas involving him, including a proposed John Cena–Travis Scott tag team match at Money in the Bank 2025. Those plans were ultimately replaced, with Cena teaming up with Logan Paul instead.

What started as a shocking celebrity cameo has now turned into one of WWE’s strangest crossover stories—complete with real injuries, backstage fallout, and a very expensive apology.
