Jelly Roll Makes Surprising Triple H Admission After SummerSlam 2025 Loss (WWE News)
Rapper Jelly Roll opens up on SummerSlam 2025 loss with Randy Orton vs. McIntyre and Paul.
Jelly Roll respects the business, brother.
Speaking with Cody Rhodes on What Do You Wanna Talk About?, the rapper-turned-country-singer-turned-wrestler revealed that he asked WWE Chief Content Officer Paul 'Triple H' Levesque to lose his wrestling debut at SummerSlam 2025.
"I told Triple H, 'I wanna lose at SummerSlam,'" said Jelly Roll (h/t Bleacher Report). "Just because no celebrity's ever took an L, they always put 'em over. And if you don't put me over, I always have a reason. There's always just something lingering, I can pop up any time."
The 40-year-old teamed with Randy Orton in a defeat to Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul at SummerSlam. Jelly, who was primarily tasked with taking a beatdown and selling for the heels in the match, ate the pinfall to Paul, who finished him off with a Frog Splash.
Jelly Roll had a run of offense before this, Chokeslamming Paul and hitting McIntyre with a Black Hole Slam. The rapper was hugely over in the building, particularly when he hit Logan with a Powerslam after the former United States Champion had been sitting on the top turnbuckle.
Before SummerSlam, Jelly Roll revealed his goal of weighing in for the match at under 300lbs. The musician, who has lost over 200lbs, came in at 299lbs for the match, as revealed by Triple H during a SummerSlam pre-show.
Jelly Roll had over 25 million monthly Spotify listeners at the time of publishing. A lifelong wrestling fan, he technically debuted for WWE at SummerSlam 2024, where he Chokeslammed Austin Theory.
