Travis Scott Is Now Rey Mysterio’s Tag Team Partner In The WWE

by

Travis Scott has one of the most extensive extracurricular resumes out of any contemporary rap star, and it just keeps on growing. Moreover, he was at Fanatics Fest over the weekend in New York City, where he also announced that Days Before Rodeo will drop on streaming services very soon. But another big reveal was when Rey Mysterio announced La Flame as his new tag team partner in the WWE. It was a pretty bombastic occasion, with Scott coming out donning his own custom mask to the tune of his 2023 hit “FE!N.” Let’s see what else this partnership holds, and if it’s a successful one, we hope that we get plenty of chances to see them make some magic in the ring.

“Are you guys ready for me to introduce my latest tag team partner?” Rey Mysterio asked the crowd at Fanatics Fest. “Are you ready? Alright. This man has shaped the landscape for hip-hop. He is an icon. He is also on ‘SICKO MODE.’ He is a rapper, producer, songwriter, and Grammy-nominated. Let’s give it up for the highest in the room, my newest tag team partner, Travis Scott!”

Rey Mysterio Announces Travis Scott As His New Tag Team Partner

In other Travis Scott news, he continued to build his relationship with the streaming world by competing in a foot race with IShowSpeed. It was pretty comical and heartening to see, especially as you could see their entourages (Quavo included) have a great time. We don’t always get to see more innocent and playful peeks behind the celebrity curtain, but thanks to this popular avenue of content creation, we have more of them than ever. Hopefully this trend evolves in a positive way, as we all know that over-exposure can also exhaust fans’ attention spans pretty quickly.

Meanwhile, Travis Scott also popped out for at least a couple of shows during Future and Metro Boomin’s tour. Their Brooklyn performance in particular seemed like a truly electric affair, which is the energy that Travis hopes to bring to his Latin American run later this year. Now, we know that we will get to see him on multiple stages in the near future. Let’s see how the WWE’s latest celebrity guest holds up.

WWE News: Dakota Kai Reveals Latest On Injury

by

The wrestling world was left in shock when Dakota Kai, a popular figure in the arena, sustained a torn ACL during the May 12th edition of WWE SmackDown​. That night, Kai, alongside Bayley, rose to the challenge against Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship. However, the match did not go as planned and resulted in two severe injuries.

Midway through the match, Morgan suffered a shoulder injury. In an attempt to protect her, Kai ended up injuring herself. The incident occurred when Kai leapt off the top turnbuckle to counter Morgan with a powerful knee strike. Unfortunately, she landed awkwardly, causing a noticeable outcry of pain. It was later revealed that Kai had injured her knee executing that move​.

The Impact on WWE and the Road Ahead

Kai’s injury has undoubtedly left a void in the wrestling world. While she continues her recovery journey, her Damage CTRL stablemates have shifted their focus to the forthcoming Money in the Bank event.

Both Bayley and IYO SKY have qualified for the Women’s Money in the Bank ladder match. However, Bayley’s position in the event is now under threat following a challenge from Shotzi to The Role Model. Consequently, Bayley is set to put her spot on the line against Shotzi in the upcoming SmackDown show later this week​.

Despite the challenges and uncertainties, the wrestling world remains hopeful for Dakota Kai’s speedy recovery and return to the ring. Her tenacity and determination serve as a testament to her character. And, her absence has only amplified her importance in the wrestling world.

In the end, it’s not just about the physical recovery but also the mental strength and perseverance that wrestlers like Dakota Kai exhibit. Her journey serves as an inspiration for many and a reminder that injuries are but a stepping stone in the grand scheme of their careers. The wrestling world eagerly awaits her return, ready to welcome back the dynamism and energy that Dakota Kai brings to the ring.
