34-year-old celebrity "had no business being near a wrestling ring," says WWE star John Cena's father  (Exclusive)

WWE has often brought in celebrities to boost its viewership. However, sometimes the celebrities do not exactly prove to be good in the ring.

John Cena's father recently commented on the same topic, talking about 34-year-old rapper Travis Scott's appearances during the storyline involving his son, The Rock, and Cody Rhodes. It should be noted that Travis Scott legitimately injured Cody during the now-famous segment at Elimination Chamber: Toronto, in which John shockingly turned heel and joined forces with The Final Boss. This led to significant backlash from fans.

Scott later helped The Unseen 17 dethrone The American Nightmare as Undisputed WWE Champion at WrestleMania 41 Night Two, much to the anguish of fans and industry experts, as The Rock was nowhere to be seen. Following the underwhelming response to his involvement at The Show of Shows, the global juggernaut has since distanced itself from Scott.

Speaking on UnSKripted, John Cena Sr. stated that the 34-year-old rapper "had no business being near a wrestling ring."

"I guess I am gonna say it the way it is. Travis Scott had no business being near a wrestling ring. You can [sic] see that when he came out. When he first made his appearance, it's like he slaps the belt; he has got the bottle. He gets in the ring; just look. And I am not saying celebrities don't belong there. Take a look at what Jelly Roll did. Take a look at some of the other celebrities."

John Cena's father is not happy with his son's heel turn in WWE

While John Cena Sr. thinks that The Franchise Player's heel turn was a stroke of genius, he is apparently not a fan of how it turned out in the weeks that followed.

Speaking on the same episode of UnSKripted, he stated:

"Turning John Cena heel was a great idea; the shock factor was great, but I think the storyline was destroyed. And that was a very poor move in my opinion because it was a big gamble for everyone that [sic] was involved. And to see how it started and then to see the characters who were involved no longer be present, well, the heel turn almost became non-essential."

Cena recently suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Brock Lesnar at Wrestlepalooza. He is now set to battle AJ Styles at WWE Crown Jewel in Perth, Australia, on October 11.
