Musician Jelly Roll recently appeared on WWE Raw and had a memorable interaction with Randy Orton. Speaking on Insight With Chris Van Vliet, Jelly Roll revealed that the moment didn’t go as initially planned during rehearsals.
“It was the best rub ever, dude,” Jelly Roll said. “I’m sure y’all know this about the Viper already, but none of that happened in rehearsal. In rehearsal, I was supposed to push Dom into him, and he was supposed to table him, you know, the Randy table drop. So I was gonna push him back, Randy’s gonna be there, and I was gonna push him.”
Instead, the interaction took a different turn live on air. “Instead, it was like so when Randy does it, walks over to me. I was like, Oh, this is the coolest thing ever, dude,” Jelly Roll recalled. “And it was cool because obviously I was getting stoned in the back, so that’s what he’s alluding to. I smelled like a big reefer, but he’s just so awesome.”
The positive interaction continued backstage later that night when Orton interrupted Jelly Roll’s interview to offer praise.
“And then I was in the back that night doing my interview, I think maybe with Jackie, and he stopped and crashed my interview and put his arm around me and was like, Man, I’m proud of you, man,” Jelly Roll shared. “A lot of the celebrities have come here, gave the big rub on camera right then too. And I would have never guessed that that was going to us being able to wrestle together.”
