Travis Scott has been officially removed from the upcoming WWE 2K25 DLC lineup after what sources describe as a “full falling out” with WWE. Initially teased as a surprise celebrity addition in the “New Wave DLC,” Scott has now been replaced by masked wrestler El Grande Americano.
Additionally, Aleister Black will be taking Scott’s spot in the “WrestleMania” DLC package. This decision was confirmed by multiple sources close to the development of the game and WWE management.
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that growing internal frustrations and Scott’s alleged lack of discipline during in-ring training contributed to the decision. WWE insiders claim the relationship deteriorated rapidly in recent months.
In a recent episode of the Impaulsive podcast, WWE superstar Drew McIntyre referred to Scott’s involvement in WrestleMania 41 as “a joke” and criticized his attitude. This public reaction has further confirmed speculations of an internal fallout.
WWE 2K25 had previously leveraged celebrities like Logan Paul and Bad Bunny to attract wider audiences. The removal of Travis Scott signals a shift in how such collaborations are managed moving forward.
The quick substitution of characters suggests that 2K acted swiftly to manage the situation. While fan reactions are mixed, many within the community believe Scott’s removal was ultimately the right call.
