Cody Rhodes has locked horns with some of WWE's biggest superstars, but rapper Travis Scott did more damage to him than most. Rhodes was sporting a serious shiner after March's Elimination Chamber, an injury caused by a punch that included a burst eardrum from the music superstar.

Ahead of his SummerSlam match against WWE champion John Cena this weekend, Cody Rhodes recounted rapper Travis Scott injuring him at Elimination Chamber earlier this year.

Travis Scott appeared with The Rock at WWE Elimination Chamber 2025 and attacked Cody Rhodes, alongside John Cena. After Rhodes rejected The Final Boss' offer, the trio launched a brutal beatdown.

When John Cena turned heel at WWE Elimination Chamber, Travis Scott and The Rock were part of the beatdown on Cody Rhodes. Scott delivered a slap to the side of the head of Rhodes, leaving him with a busted eardrum.

Cody Rhodes confirms that his eardrum was busted by Grammy Award-nominated artist Travis Scott at WWE Elimination Chamber.

Since he made his WWE return, Cody immediately convinced Triple H and the management that he was the right man to focus on for the future and it is no coincidence that he has been transformed into the new symbolic face of the company.
