Overview

  • Paul Heyman said the original WrestleMania conclusion for Scott’s and Johnson’s roles in John Cena’s heel turn “fell apart” backstage and was officially dropped.
  • Both Travis Scott and Dwayne Johnson featured in Cena’s heel turn at Elimination Chamber but did not follow through beyond a brief distraction by Scott at WrestleMania 41.
  • Heyman admitted he is unaware of what derailed Johnson’s involvement and acknowledged he has not heard Travis Scott’s version of reported training conflicts.
  • Dwayne Johnson previously told The Pat McAfee Show in April that he never committed to any appearances after Elimination Chamber.
  • WWE has moved forward without either celebrity, leaving their future participation in storylines unresolved and raising questions about integrating mainstream stars.
