A planned interview with WWE Superstar Randy Orton on Wednesday night’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, guest-hosted by country music star Jelly Roll, erupted into chaos. The segment saw interruptions from both Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul, and culminated in the guest host chokeslamming Paul through the show’s interview table.
The segment began with Jelly Roll and Orton discussing the events of this past weekend’s WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, where Jelly Roll got physically involved and was on the receiving end of a Claymore Kick from Drew McIntyre. Orton reassured the host, stating, “We got each other’s back, man. That’s what we’re in this together. At SummerSlam, we’re gonna get ours.”
An Unwanted Interruption
Their conversation was quickly cut short by the arrival of Drew McIntyre. “I come in peace,” McIntyre claimed, before turning his attention to Jelly Roll. After sarcastically congratulating him on his recent weight loss, McIntyre delivered a pointed insult. “You truly are an inspiration to trailer trash all across the world, brother,” McIntyre said. “And I just want to know… after you lost all that weight, how did it feel to finally see your little Tootsie Roll for the first time in 20 years?”
The insult prompted Orton to step in. “Nobody flew here to see you act like a prick. Wrong time, wrong place,” Orton warned. The two WWE Superstars then came to blows, brawling out of the studio and into the backstage area as Jelly Roll attempted to regain control of his show.
Logan Paul Gets A “Receipt”
As Jelly Roll tried to send the show to a commercial break, he was interrupted a second time by Logan Paul. Paul immediately began berating the host. “You a late night talk show host? You a wrestler? You a country star?” Paul taunted. “I told you this, Mr. Dummy roll, stay in your lane, stupid… I’ll tell you what you are. You my friend, are a greasy redneck prison rat.”
Paul then slapped Jelly Roll across the face and declared, “There’s your receipt, stupid. Hey, congrats. It’s Logan Paul’s show now, a real superstar.” The country music star, however, did not back down. He slapped Paul back with force before grabbing him by the throat and delivering a massive chokeslam through the glass interview table, shattering it and leaving Paul laying as the show went off the air.
The chaotic segment on network television served as a major promotional vehicle for WWE’s upcoming SummerSlam event. The brawl between Orton and McIntyre directly fuels their rivalry, which will come to a head when they face each other in a one-on-one match at the show. While no match has been officially announced for Logan Paul or Jelly Roll, their explosive confrontation strongly suggests they will both be involved in some capacity at the “biggest party of the summer.”
