This marked Scott’s latest appearance in WWE, having previously been involved as an accomplice to John Cena and The Rock in an attack on Cody Rhodes in February. Recently, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson mentioned that Scott has been training for his anticipated debut in the ring.

Over recent years, an increasing number of musicians, influencers, and actors have expressed their interest in WWE. In 2023, Bad Bunny headlined the event after debuting in 2021. Recently, Charlotte Flair, daughter of WWE legend Ric Flair, shared her thoughts on Bad Bunny’s career: “He was incredible every time he appeared. You can genuinely see his love for the industry and how he respects it and puts in the effort. So fame.”

Sexyy Red recently stated her interest in wrestling for WWE if she had more time to train. Instead, she participated in segments on NXT and appeared at The Battlefield, a premium live event exclusive to the yellow brand.

In other news, Slayer has announced their first UK performances in six years this summer, which includes a massive outdoor show in London and their final live show with Black Sabbath in a “Return to the Beginning” event in Villa Park in their hometown on Saturday, July 5.
