As seen during the July 12th 2025 edition of WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, Randy Orton and country music star Jelly Roll vs. Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul was officially confirmed for SummerSlam. While speaking on ESPN’s Get Up, Jelly Roll was asked about what the most difficult part of training was. Here was Jelly Roll’s response…

“The physicality — it’s… man, listen, man. That ‘wrestling is fake’ stuff has got to go out the door. There’s no fake way to land on a piece of plywood in front of 60,000 people, you know what I mean? There’s no fake way to go over a cable rope in front of 65,000 people, man. I broke my pinky in week one of training — by accident. You know what I mean It’s just… that thing is a constant collision, dude.”

Orton also gave praise to Jelly Roll during the segment…

“Man, he’s reinvigorated my love for what I do. I’ve been doing it for almost 25 years, so you know — that’s a long time to be doing something. Just seeing his face light up when he’s in that ring… it’s inspired me to really take a step back and go, ‘Wow, I’m lucky to be doing this.’ My father did it. My grandfather did it. It’s in my blood — and I love that I’m still able to be part of WWE, to go out there and bust my ass. And I can’t wait to tear it up with you, bro.”
