WWE Shocker: Travis Scott & The Rock's Storyline Canceled! Here's Why!

A planned WWE storyline involving The Rock and Travis Scott has reportedly fallen apart, leaving fans wondering what could have been. The revelation comes from none other than WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman, who confirmed the scrapped plans during an interview on "The Ariel Helwani Show."

The Cena Heel Turn That Wasn't?

The storyline was initially sparked by John Cena's shocking heel turn at WWE Elimination Chamber, where he aligned himself with The Rock and Travis Scott. This alliance was met with a mixed reception, particularly due to the limited presence of The Rock and Scott following the event.

Scott did make an appearance at WrestleMania 41, distracting Cody Rhodes during the main event Universal Title match against Cena, which allowed Cena to steal the Undisputed WWE championship. However, his presence, along with The Rock's absence, raised questions about the intended direction of the storyline.

Heyman's Insight

According to Heyman, the original plans for The Rock and Scott's involvement were abandoned. "There was [a payoff for the Rock and Travis Scott storyline.] It fell apart. And we moved forward without it…," Heyman stated. He also mentioned hearing rumors about issues with Scott, but emphasized that he hasn't heard Scott's side of the story.

The Rock's WrestleMania Absence

Adding to the mystery, The Rock was notably absent from WrestleMania 41. Heyman clarified that The Rock was never officially advertised or booked for the event, suggesting that the reasons for his absence might be best addressed by Dwayne Johnson himself or his business partner, former WWE writer Brian Gewirtz.

The abrupt end to Cena's darker character arc just five months later further fueled speculation about the abandoned storyline, leaving fans to ponder the potential impact of The Rock and Travis Scott's involvement.
