SummerSlam 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting event with notable celebrity involvement, including Jelly Roll’s anticipated in-ring debut. The musician, known for his hit single “Liar,” previously performed at last year’s party and has since become deeply involved with WWE’s promotional activities. His training and participation highlight the growing trend of celebrities crossing into professional wrestling.
Training and Training Partners at WWE NXT
Earlier this month, Jelly Roll appeared on The Pat McAfee Show and revealed details about his rigorous training regime. He credited wrestling legends such as The Undertaker, Michelle McCool, Jacob Fatu, and Kevin Owens for shaping his preparation for the match. Recently, he was seen at WWE’s NXT event in Florida, having relocated there to focus on his development at the WWE Performance Center without interruptions.
Upcoming Matches and Card Highlights at SummerSlam 2025
Jelly Roll is scheduled to team up with Randy Orton in a tag team encounter against Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre, following an altercation on SmackDown that set the stage for their match. Although Drew McIntyre’s participation faced uncertainty due to an injury update, the matchup remains intact with potential replacements. Beyond this, SummerSlam 2025 will also showcase a rematch between Cody Rhodes and John Cena for the Undisputed WWE Championship in a street fight format. Other anticipated bouts include a triple-threat contest for the Women’s World Championship and a long-awaited Intercontinental Title match where AJ Styles will finally confront Dominik Mysterio.
Significance of Celebrity Involvement in WWE
Since WWE’s earliest days, celebrity appearances have played a key role in attracting diverse audiences. While many guests make brief appearances, Jelly Roll’s commitment to full training and competition emphasizes a deepening relationship between celebrities and wrestling. His active preparation and collaborations with top wrestlers signal a promising expansion of WWE’s entertainment appeal, setting a precedent for future stars to engage with the sport professionally.
