Next month, the country singer is set for a WWE SummerSlam match against Paul with wrestler Randy Orton in tow
Jelly Roll literally came out swinging for his debut hosting gig on Jimmy Kimmel Live! During his interview with WWE wrestler Randy Orton, the pair were interrupted by none other than fellow WWE wrester Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul. Words were exchanged as McIntyre came in calling Jelly Roll an “inspiration to trailer trash all across the world” for his 200-pound weight-loss, and McInytre and Orton began scrapping.
As Jelly Roll tried to cut to commercial break after losing his guest, Paul came out on the show stage to admonish the singer, who he called “Mr. Dummy Roll.” The influencer-turned-professional wrestler was met with a booing crowd, but that didn’t stop him from trash talking the guest host. “You people are so stupid, someone has to stop him,” Paul said before addressing Jelly Roll directly. “I’ll tell you what you are. You, my friend, are a greasy, redneck, prison rat,” Paul continued, referring to the singer’s years behind bars before slapping Jelly Roll in the face.
Jelly Roll responded by grabbing Paul by the neck and chokeslamming him onto Kimmel’s stage desk, shattering wood everywhere. The crowd erupted into applause as Jelly Roll plugged his upcoming appearance at the WWE SummerSlam in August. The singer is up for a match with Paul and will be helped out by Orton. McIntyre will be Paul’s fighting partner in the ring.

The whole bit was a preview of that fight. It’s not the first time that Jelly Roll, Orton, McIntyre, and Paul got into an altercation as a way to promote the upcoming fight. Last week, at Saturday’s WWE Main Event in Nashville, Jelly Roll and Paul got into quite the altercation when the country singer came in to defend Orton. Orton had just been jump-kicked by wrestler Drew McIntyre when Paul began beating down on him too. Jelly Roll then grabbed Paul and laubched him across the ring before security came in to “break up” the dramatized fight.
As Orton said on the Kimmel show during his interview with Jelly Roll: “Retribution is going to come quick and swift at SummerSlam.”
