Triple H has commended rapper and songwriter Jelly Roll for his dedication to WWE as the SummerSlam event approaches. The recognition comes after Jelly Roll appeared physically involved in Saturday Night’s Main Event during the Randy Orton versus Drew McIntyre match, which ended with Orton delivering a Claymore Kick to Jelly Roll following an altercation with Logan Paul.
Following this intense moment, plans for a tag team match at the upcoming SummerSlam have been announced, pairing Jelly Roll with Randy Orton against Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre.
Triple H Highlights Jelly Roll’s Persistent Dedication to Wrestling
During the WWE Evolution post-show, Triple H reflected on Jelly Roll’s unwavering passion for wrestling. He revealed that since their first meeting, Jelly Roll consistently expressed his strong desire to wrestle and his commitment to outperform everyone else.
“Probably since the first time I met Jelly, he has been saying, ‘I need to wrestle, I really wanna do this, I’m telling you I’ll be more dedicated than anybody else.’ He just always says it.” —Triple H, WWE Chief Content Officer
Triple H explained that while many claim dedication, only a few, like Jelly Roll and Bad Bunny, follow through wholeheartedly, setting themselves apart with relentless focus.
“And a lot of people say that, and sometimes, you end up where they think they wanna do it, and they think they’re gonna be dedicated to it, and they’re not. And then other times, you end up with Bad Bunny or you end up with Jelly, somebody that’s super dedicated to it and just wants to go all in.” —Triple H, WWE Chief Content Officer
Jelly Roll’s Weight Loss Played a Key Role in His WWE Journey
Triple H disclosed that Jelly Roll had promised to lose weight as part of his plan to make a significant impact within WWE.
“He’s been saying it, he told me a couple of years ago, ‘I’m gonna lose all this weight, you’re gonna see, I’m gonna lose all this weight and I’m gonna stay on you and then I wanna do something big with you guys, if any way we can make it happen.’ And we’ve stayed in touch, and he did exactly what he said.” —Triple H, WWE Chief Content Officer
He went on to share a moment when Jelly Roll visited a WWE ring, likely during WrestleMania week, surprising everyone with his quick grasp of the sport’s demands.
Triple H described that day, noting how impressed the attendees were with Jelly Roll’s natural ability as he continued shedding weight to advance his fitness and wrestling goals.
“And then he proceeded to lose even more weight, the timing was right, and he’s at a place where he’s at his weight loss journey looking to get to the next level even and increase that loss.” —Triple H, WWE Chief Content Officer
Ongoing Training and Support at WWE Performance Center
To further his wrestling development, Jelly Roll arranged to train at the WWE Performance Center, working closely with trainers, nutritionists, and wrestling coaches between his tours.
Triple H explained that Jelly Roll’s commitment was evident as he trained daily, enduring soreness without complaint, fueled by genuine excitement and passion for wrestling.
“And I think part of that was he wanted us to see what he could be able to do and he’s been in that ring every single day, just going at it. And he’s dedicated to it; I haven’t heard him complain once about being sore. He’s all in, he’s like a giddy kid. I’m excited for him.” —Triple H, WWE Chief Content Officer
