Cody Rhodes Says Natalya And Bob Holly Slapped Him Harder Than Travis Scott

At WWE Elimination Chamber 2025, Cody Rhodes was beaten down by The Rock, John Cena, and Travis Scott. During the beatdown, Scott caught Cody with a hard slap that gave him a black eye.

Speaking to Chris Van Vliet on Insight, Cody was asked how badly he was hurt by Scott.

“Travis Scott did not hurt me. It looks like he hurt me. I took a photo with Travis Scott at the OBB studio event, and I never saw that photo. I like Travis Scott. I think it’s safe to say at this point, I like Travis Scott. I like that he lended us his time and that we had moments with him. I mean, he took a Cross Rhodes. Most people just remember the slap, and I’m going to be on this side of history with it. I know it wasn’t everyone’s favorite thing. That is not the hardest I’ve ever been slapped. That’s number three. That’s number three. I’ll give you the list of slaps. Number two, Bob Holly in London. He says, ‘Fire up out there, kid.’ I don’t want to say something nefarious that gets anyone in trouble. I think someone told him to try and knock me out, because the way he slapped me was trying to knock a man out, it didn’t. I have a decent little jaw. So I took said slap. The number one might shock you, but I felt it in both of my heels. I felt it in my feet. I had to plant my feet. It was so hard. Nattie Neidhart hit me. It felt like an MLB batter swinging the bat, and I walked into it. She leveled me. So Nattie is one, Hardcore Holly two, Travis Scott, I’d say maybe three,” he said.

Cody went on to say that, collectively, Rock, Cena, and Scott gave him a black eye and eardrum.

Cody got a measure of revenge at WrestleMania 41 when he gave the Cross Rhodes to Scott. Scott has not been seen on WWE TV since.
