Over the past few months, Travis Scott has taken part in two enormously influential WWE moments — or, if you count his appearance on the first episode of Monday Night Raw to air live on Netflix, three. I guess the Raw one made sense, since WWE always likes to bring in any glitz and glamor it can find, but in the other two instances, Scott’s participation has been weird as fuck. In March, John Cena finally turned heel. He’d been an indestructible good-guy character for decades, and he was in the middle of his retirement tour. But on the behest of his corporate overlord the Rock, Cena beat WWE Champion Cody Rhodes to a bloody pulp. Also, Travis Scott was there. During the Cena beatdown, Scott slapped Rhodes in the face, apparently hard enough to give him a giant knot above the eye. Last night was the second night of Wrestlemania, the culmination of the entire WWE year, and Travis Scott got involved in the main event.
