The main event of WrestleMania 41 was the Undisputed Universal Title Match between the champion Cody Rhodes and the challenger John Cena. It was expected by fans that The Rock and Travis Scott would be present at the show to help Cena win his 17th title. This was after Cena shocked the world by turning heel at the Elimination Chamber PLE and aligning himself with The Final Boss.
While Scott did show up and help out Cena win the match, he and The Great One have been absent from WWE TV. Recently, WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman addressed the absence of both the Hip-hop star and the Final Boss.
Recently, Paul Heyman was a special guest on the Ariel Helwani Show. During his interview, the Oracle shared that he did hear that some people in WWE had some issues with Scott. But Heyman is yet to hear Scott's side of the story. The Oracle also confirmed that initially, there was a payoff planned for the Rock, Scott, and John Cena storyline, but that all fell apart.
'There was [a payoff for the Rock and Travis Scott storyline.] It fell apart. And we moved forward without it… The whole deal with Travis Scott. I don't know if he's done. Any meeting that I was in that involved Travis Scott, I got along with him fine. Have I heard things? I have. Do I know the accuracy of it? Haven't heard Travis' version of it. Like his music, like his taste in women that he has children with, wish I was dating one of those sisters. I'm not. He was married to one. He's doing better at his personal life than I am.'
Paul Heyman on why The Rock was not at WrestleMania 41
During the same interview, the Oracle shared that he had no idea about why the Final Boss was not there at WrestleMania 41. At the same time, he pointed out the fact that The Rock was never advertised for the biggest PLE of the year.
He also mentioned that during WrestleMania 41, Heyman was busy with his storyline with Reigns, Rollins, and CM Punk. Thus, the Oracle didn't have much time to focus on how the storyline with Cena and Rhodes turned out.
'What about The Rock? He was never advertised or booked for WrestleMania… I don't know what happened with Dwayne. That is something you should have Dwayne come in to these beautiful Yahoo studios and answer for himself. I really don't know. Or have Brian Gewirtz come in. And I am sure he could tell you their side of the story. I really don't know.
'Especially at WrestleMania, I had enough on my plate. I wasn't really that concerned with what was going to happen with John Cena and Cody Rhodes' storyline. I was more concerned with the fact that we got a lot to pull of here, with the Tribal Chief Roman Reigns, and Seth Rollins, and CM Punk. And where we are going to go with Seth Rollins and how we going to do this, and how we going to get to next year's Mania and this year's SummerSlam, and the trajectory that we had. There was a lot on my plate and also other people I was working with,' Paul Heyman said.
