The WWE storyline involving Grammy-winning singer Jelly Roll is set to make its way to late-night television. It has been announced that Jelly Roll will serve as the guest host for ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! this Wednesday and Thursday night at 11:35 p.m. ET.
Storyline Progression on Network TV
Adding a layer of intrigue for wrestling fans, it was also announced that Jelly Roll’s SummerSlam tag team partner, Randy Orton, will be one of his guests on Wednesday night’s episode. The appearance is expected to feature some form of storyline progression for their upcoming match, bringing the WWE angle to a major mainstream platform.
The segment will likely see the duo address their rivalry with their SummerSlam opponents, United States Champion Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre.
Jelly Roll’s WWE Integration
Jelly Roll, a lifelong WWE fan, has become increasingly involved with the company over the past year. After delivering a musical performance at last year’s SummerSlam, it was recently reported that he had been training for his own in-ring debut. That debut was confirmed when he became entangled in the feud between Orton and McIntyre on a recent episode of SmackDown, leading to this high-profile tag team match being made.
The team of Jelly Roll and Randy Orton is currently scheduled to face the team of Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre at WWE SummerSlam. The premium live event will take place on August 2nd and 3rd from MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
