WrestleMania 41: Was it a good idea to involve Travis Scott in John Cena and Cody Rhodes¡¯ match?
WrestleMania 41: Travis Scott played a vital role in the finish of John Cena and Cody Rhodes¡¯ match, the main event of the night. This has not gone down too well with the WWE Universe. So was it a bad decision?
John Cena beat Cody Rhodes in the main event of WrestleMania 41 to win the Undisputed Championship. In doing so, he clinched a World Title for the 17th time and broke Ric Flair¡¯s record.
The match was a reasonably watchable affair, which even included a referee bump. However, its ending paled in comparison to the one seen in the main event of ¡®Night 2¡¯ at ¡®Mania last year. Scott¡¯s involvement in the match, in particular, has received a mixed response. So, was it an avoidable move on the WWE¡¯s part? Let¡¯s analyse
WrestleMania 41: What is Travis Scott¡¯s association with Cody Rhodes, John Cena¡¯s feud?
Travis Scott was in the ring at the Elimination Chamber event when John Cena betrayed Rhodes on The Rock¡¯s orders. The rapper even assisted ¡®The Great One¡¯ as he teamed up with the Cenation Leader to give Rhodes a beating.
Given Scott¡¯s association with The Rock, his presence at the event would have made perfect sense had ¡®The Final Boss¡¯ himself appeared on the show. However, the WWE legend was nowhere to be seen. This essentially diluted the impact of Travis Scott¡¯s cameo.
To make matters worse, the ending paled in comparison to what was seen last year. The final moments of the Cody Rhodes-Roman Reigns bout at WrestleMania 40 saw Solo Sikoa and The Rock come to OTC¡¯s aid. Similarly, ¡®The American Nightmare¡¯ received help from John Cena himself and The Undertaker. This year¡¯s finish, simply put, lacked that type of star power. Travis Scott¡¯s involvement only made things worse on this front, as he is not really from the wrestling fraternity.
What did Travis Scott do at WrestleMania 41?
Travis Scott his presence felt towards the end and even pulled the referee out of the ring to help Cena at a crucial time. He eventually received a Cross Rhodes from ¡®QB 1¡¯. Shortly thereafter, Cena hit Rhodes with a low blow and the title to get the three count.
WrestleMania 41 was held in Las Vegas on April 19 and April 20.
