Jelly Roll lost his match, but it was still a “monumental” night for him.
The first-ever two-night SummerSlam PLE took place, live from Newark, New Jersey. One of the major matches of the event was the in-ring debut of Musical Megastar Jelly Roll. He teamed up with Randy Orton to take on the team of Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre.
Jelly Roll was recently interviewed by Cody Rhodes on his What Do You Wanna Talk About podcast. During the episode, the American Singer shared that competing at SummerSlam was one of his childhood dreams. He also mentioned that the event is extra special for him as this will be the lightest he has ever weighed since his 7th grade.
“One, it was a little selfish, and I don’t do very many things selfishly, but there’s nothing in life I wanted more as a kid than to stand in that ring. You know what I mean? Like nothing. I didn’t want a microphone more. I didn’t want a sold out show more, I didn’t have no I didn’t know I had a music bone in my body at the time, but I knew that something happened every Monday night that got me so emotionally fired up I couldn’t sleep until Tuesday. Yeah, you know what I mean?
“I knew I connected to the storytelling in such a way, I found myself in the characters. I found myself in these humans. You know that I wanted to, I just, I wanted to try it, and it became a North Star my weight loss. So almost, when I first signed up for it, it was almost like, I’ll never actually do it, like I’ll never actually lose 240 pounds… When I walk on there that night, when I walk, when you watch me walk to the ring at SummerSlam, I will be the smallest I’ve been since the seventh grade,” Jelly Roll said.
