Jelly Roll’s WWE SummerSlam Opponent Revealed – Grammy Award-winning artist Jelly Roll is officially stepping into the WWE ring, and he won’t be doing it alone—or quietly. According to a report from PWInsider, the popular country-rap singer is set to make his in-ring debut at this year’s WWE SummerSlam, and his opponent will be none other than social media megastar Logan Paul.
The report notes that the angle to kick off this high-profile celebrity feud will begin on tonight’s SmackDown, which just so happens to take place in Jelly Roll’s hometown of Nashville. WWE is expected to use the local crowd’s energy to launch what could become one of the summer’s most talked-about rivalries.
While specific match details are still unclear, WWE reportedly has plans for Jelly Roll to align with a major babyface star. Although early fan speculation pointed to Cody Rhodes, sources have confirmed that Rhodes is not scheduled to be involved in this storyline. Whether the top name becomes Jelly Roll’s tag team partner or simply a ringside mentor remains to be seen.
Jelly Roll is a lifelong WWE fan and has made multiple appearances at WWE events over the past year, including a well-received musical performance at SummerSlam 2023 in Detroit. Over the past year, he’s undergone a notable physical transformation, losing a significant amount of weight—a change he previously hinted was partly motivated by his desire to compete in a WWE ring.
WWE has had major success with celebrity crossover matches in recent years. Both Logan Paul and Bad Bunny have exceeded expectations, earning praise from fans and industry veterans alike for their serious approach to training and in-ring performance. If the same holds true for Jelly Roll, this SummerSlam match at MetLife Stadium could be another mainstream hit for WWE.
