Jelly Roll makes his WWE debut at SummerSlam 2025, teaming with Randy Orton after a wild brawl with Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Jelly Roll, the breakout country music artist and emotional balladeer, is stepping into unfamiliar territory: the WWE ring. Known for his raw, honest lyrics and underdog persona, he’s taking a massive leap from Grammy stages to a tag-team match at SummerSlam 2025.
Joining him is Randy Orton, the 14-time world champion and third-generation wrestling icon. Orton is on the verge of setting a new SummerSlam appearance record, breaking The Undertaker’s historic run.
Their opponents? None other than Drew McIntyre, the Scottish brute turned sharp-tongued heel, and Logan Paul, social media mogul turned WWE antagonist.
On July 16, 2025, during a segment on Jimmy Kimmel Live, guest host Jelly Roll welcomed Randy Orton for what appeared to be a casual interview. Orton opened up about his long career and family life.
Suddenly, the moment turned volatile. Drew McIntyre stormed the stage, flanked by Logan Paul. Tensions flared. Insults flew. Chaos erupted. And in one of the most unexpected wrestling crossovers ever seen on late-night TV—Jelly Roll chokeslammed Logan Paul through Kimmel’s desk.
🗣️ “You don’t come on my stage disrespecting a legend.” — Jelly Roll, post-chokeslam
Following the late-night ambush, WWE RAW picked up the storyline instantly:
Meanwhile, behind the scenes:
The Kimmel segment didn’t feel scripted—it felt real. That’s what made it go viral. WWE harnessed a rare chance to break the fourth wall while still staying within kayfabe.
This isn’t a gimmick—it’s one of the smartest marketing and storyline builds WWE has pulled off in years. By using late-night TV as a battleground, they’ve opened the doors to viral reach, mainstream press, and character evolution all at once.
With Jelly Roll’s credibility rising, Orton chasing history, and Logan Paul/McIntyre playing effective heels, SummerSlam 2025 promises to be unforgettable.
