A Star-Studded Training Regimen
Jelly Roll is set to team up with the legendary Randy Orton to face the formidable duo of Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul at the upcoming SummerSlam event. But before stepping into the spotlight of a major WWE pay-per-view, the singer has been undergoing rigorous training with WWE Performance Center coaches Matt Bloom and Johnny Moss. What’s truly remarkable is the caliber of wrestling royalty who have lent their expertise to Jelly Roll’s preparation.
Speaking on ”The Pat McAfee Show,” Jelly Roll revealed an remarkable roster of mentors, including WWE Hall of Famers The Undertaker and Michelle McCool, as well as current WWE Superstars Kevin Owens and Jacob Fatu.
“Undertaker comes in with Michelle, his wife,” Jelly Roll shared, his voice filled with awe. “They come in and they go, ‘Hey, we just want to watch for a minute. Just kind of chill. Is that cool?’ I was like, ‘Yeah, without a doubt!’ This is who he is as a human. The entire three-hour session, him and his wife stood on those ropes and just gave me pointer after pointer.”
He continued, highlighting the dedication of his other trainers: “Kevin Owens, Jacob Fatu came in and wrestled with me the other day for like three or four hours. These dudes are pouring into me because they see that I’m trying to take it as seriously as I can.”
This level of support from such esteemed figures underscores Jelly Roll’s commitment to making his wrestling debut a memorable one. It’s clear that he’s not just treating this as a celebrity cameo but as a genuine athletic endeavor.
The Road to SummerSlam: From SmackDown Confrontation to Challenge
The path to this summerslam showdown began with a heated confrontation on “WWE SmackDown.” Last Friday, Logan Paul found himself face-to-face with Jelly Roll, setting the stage for a potential rivalry. Randy Orton,ever the protector of his allies,stepped in to defend Jelly Roll. Though, the situation escalated when Drew McIntyre blindsided Orton with a devastating Claymore kick.
The following night, during WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, Orton wasted no time in issuing the SummerSlam challenge, officially setting up the four-man tag team match. The tension between these four prominent figures – Orton, McIntyre, Paul, and Jelly Roll – has been palpable, culminating in a physical altercation after a singles match between Orton and McIntyre. This simmering animosity promises an explosive encounter at SummerSlam.
