When John Cena aims to take on Cody Rhodes at the biggest WWE night, WrestleMania, fans have already strapped in for a show to remember. While the main event surely hit the mark, a special appearance, that of Travis Scott, failed to pack a punch for the loyal followers worldwide. Though Scott is widely celebrated in WWE, having shared the stage before with WWE heavyweights, his WrestleMania spot with Cena and Rhodes, which ended in his encounter with Cross Rhodes, left fans a little too dazed.

When the news first broke about Travis Scott’s WrestleMania 41 plans, fans could barely keep calm. However, anticipation does not always play out in ways they want. As a result, Scott’s WrestleMania face-off with Rhodes in the legacy ring had fans voicing boos instead of cheers. In fact, netizens have gone so stone-cold, they are even rolling side-eyes to Scott’s attendance, and questioning the purpose of landing WrestleMania on the wrong side of history with this one slot.

However, fans could not give it up to WWE for letting Travis Scott snatch the momentum of the main event.
