Scott has made multiple appearances in the Stamford-based company over the past few months. At Elimination Chamber, he joined forces with The Rock and John Cena as they beat up Cody Rhodes. This past Sunday at WrestleMania, the 33-year-old got involved in The American Nightmare's Undisputed WWE Championship match against The Franchise Player, helping the latter win his 17th world title.

While The Rock disclosed on The Pat McAfee Show that he refused to get involved in the WrestleMania match to avoid stealing the spotlight from the two competitors, he stated that he was surprised that Scott interfered. However, The Final Boss pointed out that he loved the rapper's appearance at the Show of Shows:

"Look, I love Travis Scott involved and I'll tell you why. Because he loves wrestling. He's a huge fan and he respects it. He's working his a** off. I know that he has plans to train with Booker T. I don't know if it's happening already. It might be, not quite too sure there on his schedule. But he loves the business. Now I was just as surprised to see Travis Scott as well, and I knew the moment I saw Travis Scott, well, that immediately amplifies, 'Well, here comes The Final Boss,'" he said.

McAfee revealed that he texted The Rock when Scott appeared to ask him if he was coming out, but the 52-year-old legend denied it:

"You did [text me]. You were like, 'Are you coming out?' And I was like, 'No, dude. I would tell you if I'm coming out. I'm not kayfabing you.'" [49:57 - 50:43]

The Rock was not 100% satisfied with the WWE WrestleMania 41 finish

In his interview with Pat McAfee, The Rock discussed the finish of the John Cena and Cody Rhodes match. He disclosed that he was happy with The Franchise Player winning his 17th world title.

However, the WWE legend disclosed that he would have made some changes to how it was booked:

"They had six weeks to plan for that. So, I love the finish of the match. I would've finessed things a little differently on how they got there but that's just me creatively. There're a lot of minds in the room. That's my thought. But still, ultimately, the bottom line was I loved John getting 17," he said.

The Rock also revealed how John Cena's heel turn came about, mentioning that it was WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H's idea.
