An unseen camera angle has emerged that shows Travis Scott legitimately hitting Cody Rhodes with a heavy right hand during Saturday's action-packed Elimination Chamber event.
It was an unforgettable night in Toronto as long-time babyface John Cena turned heel for the first time in 22 years as he booked his place at Wrestlemania 41 by winning the Elimination Chamber match.
After coming up against CM Punk, Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, Damian Priest and Logan Paul in the main event, Cena outlasted his five opponents and earned his chance to become a 17-time world champion.

Moments later, current Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes took to the ring to congratulate Cena before Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and rap star Travis Scott interrupted their meeting.
Scott, who is a huge fan of professional wrestling, recently took part in Jey Uso’s entrance during Monday Night RAW on Netflix.
And on Saturday night, he was heavily involved in the feud between John Cena and Cody Rhodes as things turned nasty. In fact, he could be seen hitting Rhodes with a hefty right hand to the face.

Ringside footage of the incident soon emerged on social media, with fans expressing their genuine surprise at how hard he hit 'The American Nightmare'.
One fan wrote: "Nobody told Travis Scott that wrestling isn’t real. Bro punched tf outta Cody Rhodes," while another commented: "Travis Scott really smacked the s*** out of Cody Rhodes."
A third said: "He just figured he’d smack the soul out of him."
A fourth wrote: "Cody’s gonna get his receipt at Wrestlemania for sure," and a fifth added: "They need to reel him in on that one. That’s uncalled for."
After the event in Toronto, 'The Rock' hinted that Scott could eventually wrestle in WWE.

Speaking in his post-event press conference, he said: “Yes, absolutely. That’s why we’re doing it. Long gaming. I love Travis. That’s my guy. Where we have expanded to in WWE, I feel like professional wrestling has always found its unique place in culture throughout the decades.
"We remember Rock ‘n’ Wrestling, Cyndi Lauper, Hulk Hogan, we remember the Attitude Era. Pro wrestling has had its place in culture for some time. I think we are tapping in to a unique time now, I’m not quite sure what we name this era, we’ll all figure it out. Someone will come up with something cool, I’ll say it and take credit for it."
He continued: “I feel like with Travis, he loves the business and loves pro wrestling. He’s a culture guy. Travis Scott is one of the greatest already, of all time. He’s a GOAT, a legend, an icon, he loves the business.
"We get guys and girls like that who want to come in and who are already tapping into the culture and disrupting culture in their own cool way. They want to come in, have fun at the show. Maybe they want to sit and enjoy or be on camera. But some want to get involved. Some, like Travis, deeply want to get involved. That’s what you saw tonight."

Travis added: “We have this opportunity to create this big moment in pro wrestling that is arguably one of the biggest, maybe the biggest, and we had an opportunity to bring Travis Scott in too and start to form a union and an alliance with The Final Boss and Travis Scott.
"He wanted to get, to steal a term, he wanted to get his hands bloody. I whispered to him as we were going out, ‘if you get your hands bloody, make it count. Make it count.’ He slapped the shit out of Cody. He was really hyped up.”
