A few weeks ago at WWE’s Elimination Chamber event, Travis Scott made his “in-ring” debut where he accidentally injured WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes, with a Southern pimp slap from hell. But that isn’t deterring Scott from continuing to work towards his newfound WWE dreams as he’s gearing up for some future matches.
According to Newsweek, the “SICKO MODE” rapper is officially in training for future WWE events and while his physical degree may lack in comparison to other WWE superstars, Snoop Dogg himself did participate in some wrestling matches over the years, so anything is possible. Looking to really get into the groove of things, AEW’s Swerve Strickland revealed that Travis Scott is apparently training with the legendary Booker T to unlock whatever wrestling skills that Cactus Jack may have in him. And if Scott can at least become a quarter of the wrestler that Booker T was, he might be good for a match or two against someone like Dominik Mysterio.
Per Newsweek:
Booker T owns a wrestling school/promotion, Reality of Wrestling, in Houston, Texas. The top AEW star shared this information during an interview on The Bootleg Kev Podcast, where he was also asked about his thoughts on Scott’s recent involvement in the Cody Rhodes situation.
“That’s a very excited artist who finally got to do his dream, you know what I mean? You’re in there, and you’re in there with the two biggest icons that we have left…that’s ever done it,” he said. “So of course, you’re excited, and you’re with the world champion. So this is the guy that’s gonna be the one for this era moving forward.”
“So that’s a lot of excitement, that’s a lot of pressure, and that’s what happens when you get excited with someone who’s not in our industry. It’s an exciting moment. It’s like, what the hell would we do if a wrestler got on the stage? They would do dumb sh*t too on a concert. But that’s not industry etiquette. So it’s just a crossover thing. He doesn’t know.”
We don’t know if Travis Scott will actually be able to convincingly bodyslam another human being or fly off the top rope and stick the landing. But if Booker T can at least get him to nail his famous “spinaroonie,” we’d be good with that. Just sayin’.
