Speaking on The Stevie Richards Show, the wrestling veteran went off on Travis Scott for legitimately hitting Cody Rhodes during the segment. The veteran stated that Scott took advantage of Rhodes during the spot, and he might have gone to business to make it about himself.

"This was Travis Scott trying to get his stuff in. He didn't care about anything but telling people, 'Oh look, I beat up Cody Rhodes.' Nobody cares about you, Travis Scott. Nobody in England who listens to music cares about you. Maybe some people in the United States, but no wrestling fan gives a damn what Travis Scott has to do with the wrestling business. You did something arrogant and selfish, and you took advantage of Cody [Rhodes]," Richards said. (From 10:30 to 11:01)
