As the WWE universe continues to grapple with the fallout from Money in the Bank 2025, one of the most intriguing storylines to emerge was the canceled plans for rapper Travis Scott to team with WWE legend John Cena. While early whispers suggested Scott was set to make his wrestling debut alongside the 16-time world champion, sources close to the situation have revealed a more complex narrative.
According to a WWE insider, the initial interest in Scott stemmed from a desire to tap into the rapper’s massive following and capitalize on the crossover appeal of a high-profile collaboration. However, as talks progressed, it became clear that Scott’s schedule and creative vision were not aligning with the WWE’s plans.
“Travis Scott had some very specific ideas about how he wanted to be presented in the WWE, and unfortunately, those ideas didn’t quite mesh with what we were looking to do,” the insider explained. “Logan Paul, on the other hand, was more open to our approach and was willing to adapt to the WWE’s creative vision. In the end, it made sense to pursue Logan as a partner for John Cena at Money in the Bank.”
Logan Paul himself has now spoken out about the canceled plans, revealing that he was approached by the WWE several weeks prior to the event. According to Paul, he was initially hesitant to commit to the project, but was eventually won over by the opportunity to team with Cena.
“I have to admit, when the WWE first approached me, I was a bit skeptical,” Paul said in an interview. “I’ve been in this business long enough to know that things don’t always go as planned, and I didn’t want to get my hopes up only to have everything fall apart. But when I talked to John, I knew that this was something special. He’s a legend, and I’m a huge fan of his work. We clicked right away, and I knew that we could make something magic happen in the ring.”
While the partnership between Paul and Cena ultimately proved to be a successful one, the canceled plans for Scott and Cena have left many in the WWE community wondering what could have been. Sources close to the situation suggest that Scott’s departure was not solely due to creative differences, but also a result of his increasingly busy schedule.
“Travis is a global superstar, and his schedule is not easy to manage,” a source revealed. “He’s got a ton of commitments outside of the WWE, and at the end of the day, it just didn’t make sense for him to take on another project. We understand, and we wish him all the best.”
As the WWE continues to navigate the ever-changing landscape of professional wrestling, one thing is certain: the Money in the Bank event will go down in history as a pivotal moment in the careers of both Logan Paul and John Cena. The partnership between the two proved to be a winning formula, and it will be interesting to see how their collaboration continues to unfold in the months and years to come.
In the meantime, the WWE will likely continue to explore opportunities to collaborate with other high-profile celebrities and athletes. While the experience with Travis Scott may have been a setback, it’s clear that the WWE is committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the world of professional wrestling.
As one WWE insider noted, “The WWE is always looking for ways to innovate and take risks. We know that sometimes those risks don’t pay off, but we also know that the rewards can be huge. We’re not afraid to try new things and push the envelope, and that’s what makes the WWE so exciting to be a part of.”
For now, the focus is on the present and the future, rather than dwelling on what could have been. As Logan Paul and John Cena continue to make waves in the WWE, one thing is certain: the world of professional wrestling will never be the same again.
