Rapper Travis Scott reportedly garnered heat backstage for an incident in which he legitimately injured Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes during the closing segment of the Elimination Chamber premium live event, with many questioning why he was included in the first place, the Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer reported on Friday (March 7).

“As you can imagine, that got all kinds of heat backstage, with people noting that Scott shouldn’t have been out there nor put in that position in the first place," Meltzer wrote. “The one story is that Scott was told to make it look good but it was too good.”

Scott, 33, joined Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and John Cena in a beatdown of Rhodes, 39, setting up both Cena's historic heel turn and his main event match against Rhodes for WrestleMania 41 in April. A video re-shared by the popular Public Enemies wrestling podcast showed Scott appear to legitimately hit Rhodes, unaware that wrestling strikes are supposed to be fake.
