A WWE RAW Superstar is hinting at a compelling showdown with country music singer Jelly Roll ahead of this year’s SummerSlam event. The Stamford-based wrestling organization confirmed that Jelly Roll will appear on SmackDown this week, fueling speculation about his involvement at the upcoming SummerSlam and continuing the storyline that began last year.
Last year, Jelly Roll not only performed the theme song for the pay-per-view event but also participated in some in-ring action, which left fans eager for more. Grayson Waller recently shared a photo on X/Twitter showing him being struck by a powerful chair shot from Jelly Roll at the previous SummerSlam, suggesting unresolved tensions between the two.
According to PWInsider, Jelly Roll is currently training to officially make his WWE in-ring debut at SummerSlam. The report also notes plans to link the singer with a prominent babyface wrestler before the pay-per-view event scheduled for August 2 and 3.

With Cardi B confirmed as the host of SummerSlam, WWE continues to incorporate high-profile celebrities, adding star power to the biggest event of the summer.
Jelly Roll’s Impact in Last Year’s A-Town Down Under Match
During last year’s A-Town Down Under event, Jelly Roll became physically involved when wrestling duo The Miz and R-Truth, also known as Awesome Truth, were confronted by Grayson Waller and Austin Theory. Jelly Roll defended The Miz and R-Truth by delivering chair shots to both Waller and Theory, then executed a choke slam on Theory before celebrating alongside The Miz and R-Truth in the ring.
Waller’s recent social media post referencing last year’s incident in Cleveland may indicate a storyline in which he seeks retribution against Jelly Roll. The development adds anticipation for their potential clash later this summer.
Fans can expect further clarification on Jelly Roll’s WWE role during his scheduled appearance on SmackDown this Friday, which will likely shed light on upcoming matches and alliances.
