Overview

  • On the final WWE SmackDown before SummerSlam, Jelly Roll delivered a chokeslam to a security guard in a brawl against Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul, signaling his readiness for pro wrestling’s physical demands.
  • His first week at the WWE Performance Center resulted in a broken pinky but also months of intensive, three-hour training sessions under legends like The Undertaker and Kevin Owens.
  • The country music star has shed nearly 200 pounds over the past year to meet the fitness requirements of the ring, dropping below 300 pounds for the first time since middle school.
  • WWE has officially slated him to team with Randy Orton against Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul at SummerSlam Night One at MetLife Stadium on August 2.
  • With WWE hopeful for his return in early 2026, Jelly Roll’s crossover could mark the company’s next long-term celebrity integration following Logan Paul and Bad Bunny.
