According to a recent report by PWInsider, there have been pitches for John Cena to join forces with Travis Scott for a tag team match at the premium live event slated to emanate from the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, on June 7. The 34-year-old rapper is reportedly training with WWE Hall of Famer Booker T.

The Stamford-based company has already been facing backlash from the WWE Universe for its booking of John Cena's heel turn. The recent rumor has also not sat well with many fans, who expressed their displeasure on X/Twitter. Some even urged Triple H and the creative team not to proceed with the idea.

Here are screengrabs of some of the tweets from the fans:

Travis Scott was in the ring at WWE Elimination Chamber when John Cena attacked Cody Rhodes and turned heel. He then showed up at WrestleMania 41 to help The Cenation Leader dethrone The American Nightmare to win the Undisputed WWE Championship. The popular rapper, however, has yet to wrestle a match.

WWE Hall of Famer opens up about a major flaw with John Cena's heel run

On a recent edition of his Kliq This podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash pointed out a glaring flaw in the 17-time World Champion's villainous run.

The veteran pointed out that The Cenation Leader's much-anticipated heel turn came with an expiration date, as he was already slated to hang up his wrestling boots before the end of the year. He added that everyone knowing Cena only has limited appearances before retirement does not work in his favor.

"I've already stated that this Cena turn has an expiration date, so I think that changes a lot. He stands there and goes, 'You have me for 27 more appearances, and then it’s over with.' It doesn’t have the same feel of, 'I’m going to make your lives miserable forever,'" he said. [From 1:04:01 to 1:04:26]

In his most recent match, John Cena successfully defended his Undisputed WWE Championship against Randy Orton at the Backlash Premium Live Event, thanks to interference from R-Truth. However, he nailed the former WWE 24/7 Champion with an Attitude Adjustment through a table during the post-show press conference.
