Travis Scott insists WWE brawl was ‘lowkey’ better than performing his music live

‘Sicko Mode’ rapper Travis Scott has been bitten by the professional wrestling bug after joining forces with Dwayne Johnson and John Cena on in WWE.

Travis Scott thinks wrestling is “lowkey” better than performing.

The ‘Sicko Mode’ rapper played a big part in WWE’s ‘Elimination Chamber’ premium live event – which aired on Peacock in the US and Netflix around the world over the weekend – as he joined forces with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and John Cena as they attacked the company’s champion Cody Rhodes.

In a video shared by WWE boss Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque, an ecstatic Travis said: “Bro, this might be better than like, lowkey, performing.

“It was like a whole ‘nother vibe. It was so crazy!”

The hip hop star – who starting literally jumping for joy at one point – admitted he was “already hooked” as he paced around backstage.

He joked: “I’m about to get a ring in all the cribs!”

Travis would be in good company, with Bad Bunny, Logan Paul and ‘Jackass’ icon Johnny Knoxville all getting in the ring in recent years.

Travis – whose song ‘4×4’ is the official theme for ‘Monday Night Raw’ on Netflix – could be part of a villainous group with the two Hollywood stars, after John Cena’s character turned to the dark side with just weeks until ‘WrestleMania 41’ in Las Vegas.

Speaking to media after the show, Dwayne simply said “yes” when asked if Travis could end up wrestling in the near future.

He added: “I feel like with Travis, Travis loves pro wrestling and he’s a culture guy.

“Travis Scott is already one of the greatest of all time… Some, like Travis, deeply wanna get involved. That’s what you saw tonight.”

Meanwhile, wrestling news outlet Fightful has reported that the 33-year-old rapper has even started training behind closed doors for a potential match.

According to the outlet, a source said Travis has been training “at a WWE legend’s wrestling school”, while talks have already started to get him in the ring.
