Country music star Jelly Roll is gearing up for his official WWE in-ring debut at SummerSlam. To build to the match, WWE has announced that he will be appearing on two upcoming episodes of Friday Night SmackDown.
Jelly Roll’s Upcoming SmackDown Schedule
Jelly Roll is scheduled to appear on the July 25 episode of SmackDown in Cleveland, Ohio. He will also be at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, for the August 1 episode, which will be the official go-home show for SummerSlam.
Build To Celebrity Tag Team Match At SummerSlam
These appearances will serve as the final build for his first-ever wrestling match. At SummerSlam, Jelly Roll is set to team up with Randy Orton to take on the new alliance of Drew McIntyre and United States Champion Logan Paul. The rivalry kicked off at the Saturday Night’s Main Event special, which saw McIntyre attack the music star with a Claymore Kick after the match.
Jelly Roll’s in-ring debut continues a long tradition of celebrity involvement at SummerSlam. The event has previously featured stars like Stephen Amell and Bad Bunny stepping into the ring. His match alongside three former world champions is one of the most high-profile celebrity bouts in the event’s history.
