It is well-documented that backstage heat has certainly destroyed careers in WWE. Such is the case for a 34-year-old megastar, whose pro wrestling run seemingly ended before it took off.
Famous rapper Travis Scott was a big part of John Cena's retirement tour earlier this year. He found himself at the center of controversy at Elimination Chamber when he legitimately injured Cody Rhodes and gave him a busted eardrum as a result of his stiff punches.
The rapper would then show up at WrestleMania 41, costing The American Nightmare the Undisputed WWE Championship against John Cena in the Night Two main event. That turned out to be his last appearance, as Scott wasn't brought back on television again.

In an interview with TMZ's Inside The Ring podcast, former WWE Superstar David Otunga revealed that he heard from people in the company that Travis Scott didn't make a good impression with the creative.
"Uh, I did [On if he heard WWE was upset with Travis Scott] yeah, that was the consensus, and basically what I heard he didn't take it as serious as, say, like, Bad Bunny, or, obviously, Logan Paul. And when he was here, it was sloppy. It took him a long time to get to the ring one time, you know, injuring Cody Rhodes, like you can't take out one of the top stars. So I think he ended up being more of a liability. And the fan reaction, like, people were legitimately mad, like, not good heat, heat is a good thing if somebody's a heel, but heat like that, that's not good."
