At WWE Elimination Chamber: Toronto, rapper Travis Scott slapped Cody Rhodes after John Cena turned on Cody and aligned with The Rock.
Jey Uso, who has been working with Scott on WWE TV, discussed the incident on the “Cheap Heat with Peter Rosenberg” podcast. He said,
“Somebody ain’t tell him how to work slap? He was probably too damn lit. If he slapped me like that? Hell nah, I probably woulda’ went [looks up and shakes his head]. This dude just hit me like Sheamus.”
During a recent interview with “MuscleMan Malcolm,” WWE NXT Superstar Robert Stone commented on the new WWE EVOLVE brand, why he believes fans will come to love it with time, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On the new WWE EVOLVE promotion: “It’s amazing because it’s a new concept for a show, it’s from the ground up, and it’s the beginning, right. So if this show grows into something huge, which I very much think it is going to, I think the WWE Universe, all the fans are going to fall in love with it, it’s going to be cool to say that I was there from the ground up, from the beginning. It’s going to feature a lot of hungry talent, independent wrestlers getting an opportunity, new Performance Center talent that it might be their first-ever time wrestling in a ring, they’ve practiced before, but some of these guys and girls, it’s going to be their first/ever match on TV.”
On the WWE Universe being part of the journey: “So the WWE Universe is going to kind of be there for the journey to see if these men and women become superstars or not. These are the seeds being planted, and one day, maybe [they’ll be] main-eventing WrestleMania. Who knows where they’re gonna end up? You gotta start somewhere, and right now, they’re starting in EVOLVE. So it’s gonna be cool to predict, ‘Oh, that guy or that girl, they’re going to be a big star.’ Now, we can make our predictions and just be there for the ride.”
