Travis Scott's unexpectedly heavy involvement in the explosive conclusion to WWE Elimination Chamber 2025 may have had more to it than just a bit of savvy corporate synergy with him providing "FE!N" as the WrestleMania 41 theme.

Scott joined The Rock in his entrance ahead of the seismic segment in which WWE Champion Cody Rhodes had to decide whether or not to sell his soul to 'The Final Boss'. In unthinkable scenes that will resonate for decades to come, John Cena was revealed to be Rock's chosen Champion, and the three men bloodied up the 'American Nightmare' as the show went off the air.

Several noted Scott's prominence, particularly in terms of the physicality he was showing towards Cody, but there's potential reason for his added inclusion. Fightful Select have reported that "Scott has already begun training for an in-ring debut" and that "One insider even noted that he has been working out at a WWE Legend’s wrestling school".

The report went on to add that "Those that we talked to in WWE say that most in the company didn't know that he'd be involved in this angle as of that time, but that they've since heard that in mid-January wheels were already in motion to have him included in a "major angle."

Scott’s relationship with WWE has grown significantly in recent months. He was presented with a new Hardcore Championship, and his hit single "4x4" serves as the theme song for WWE Raw. He made a high-profile appearance on the Netflix premiere of WWE Raw alongside Jey Uso, though narratively that probably won't be picked back up as long as he continues to associate with The Rock.
