After Travis Scott helped John Cena defeat Cody Rhodes and win his 17th world title at WrestleMania 41, fans are curious about their next move. Reports suggest the duo might team up for a tag match in 2025, but nothing is confirmed yet.
According to PW Nexus reporter Cory Hays, WWE has discussed a potential tag team match featuring Cena and Scott later this year. However, the idea is still in early stages and not finalized. This makes the situation kind of messed up, as fans are, anyway, disappointed with Travis’ involvement in the main event. However, WWE is taking advantage of the heat and might put those heels together to garner mainstream attention.
Cena and Scott first joined forces at WWE Elimination Chamber 2025. There, Cena turned villain and attacked Cody Rhodes, following The Rock’s orders. Scott and The Rock also joined in, but Scott disappeared until WrestleMania.Surprisingly, The Rock didn’t appear at WrestleMania 41. Meanwhile, Scott only resurfaced during Cena’s match with Rhodes.
Cena’s next storyline seems to be with his arch-rival Randy Orton. Orton attacked Cena on Raw after Mania, hinting at a feud leading to Backlash 2025 on May 10. It will be exciting to see the legends share the ring and what heel tactics John uses now to take the win.
WWE fans show their ire over the potential of John Cena and Travis Scott’s tag team pitch
The idea of John Cena and Travis Scott forming a tag team fits perfectly with Cena’s recent heel turn and his mission to “ruin wrestling.” By aligning with a non-wrestler like Scott—a mainstream celebrity with no in-ring experience—Cena further blurs the lines between sports entertainment and spectacle, leaning into his new role as a villain who prioritizes shock value over tradition.
However, many fans have expressed frustration over the potential tag team, arguing that Travis doesn’t belong in a wrestling ring. Critics point out that Scott’s involvement feels forced, with some calling it a cheap stunt rather than compelling storytelling.
Longtime viewers worry that WWE is prioritizing celebrity appearances over actual wrestling talent, and the backlash suggests that this pairing, if it happens, could backfire, further alienating the audience already skeptical of Cena’s heel run.
In the end, all of this controversy might have been avoided if The Rock had simply shown up at WrestleMania 41 as expected. His absence left a void that Scott filled, sparking this polarizing storyline. Had The Rock been there to support Cena’s betrayal, the angle might have felt more natural, but instead, fans are left with an uneasy alliance that few seem to want.
