Jelly Roll sends Logan Paul through table in dramatic Jimmy Kimmel Live brawl
The 40-year-old singer - who is set to make his WWE wrestling debut in a tag team match at SummerSlam in August - was a special guest host for the late night talk show on Wednesday (16.07.25) with his tag partner Randy Orton also on the programme.
Drew McIntyre, one of their opponents at the upcoming event over August 2 and 3, interrupted the interview, sparking a brawl between the two wrestlers which spilled backstage.
Jelly attempted to bring things back on track, only for Logan Paul - Drew's tag partner for the match - to come out on stage and slap the host.
The Save Me hitmaker ended up hitting the Chokeslam move made famous by the likes of The Undertaker, sending the controversial YouTuber through the desk.
The exchange was part of the storyline building to the blockbuster SummerSlam match.
Jelly has been working hard before his first ever wrestling match next month, losing almost 300lbs over the last couple of years after previously weighing over 500lbs.
Speaking on The Pat McAfee Show this week, he said: "When me and Hunter [Triple H] started talking, the more I got involved with WWE over the last couple of years, every time I lose weight, they're like, 'Looking good'.
"'Good enough for a match yet or do I need to lose another hundred?' 'A little more, brother.' [Laughs]. I just kept pushing for it.
"I have been training. I have quietly been living in Orlando for three or four weeks at the PC [WWE Performance Center], showing up every day like a piece of furniture.
"They can't keep me out of there. I'm there from the moment I wake up until it closes. I'm obsessed."
Jelly explained that he's been working with retired WWE wrestler turned coach Matt Bloom, while some big names have been on hand to help.
He added: 'I was training with Matt Bloom the other day, and Undertaker comes in with Michelle [McCool]. 'They just want to watch for a minute, is that cool?' 'For sure.'
"This is who he is as a human. The entire three-hour session, him and his wife stood on those ropes and gave me pointer after pointer.
"Kevin Owens, Jacob Fatu came in and wrestled with me the other day for three-four hours."
He claimed the reason the WWE superstars and legends are so willing to help him is his clear passion and drive to make it work.
He said: "These dudes are like pouring into me because they see that I'm trying to take it as serious as I can."

‘Jimmy Kimmel is next': Donald Trump gloats over Stephen Colbert's cancellation
Don't miss out on the headlines from TV. Followed categories will be added to My News. President Donald Trump addressed CBS' shocking decision to cancel The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, seemingly suggesting that other late night hosts should get a similar treatment – namely his longtime critic, Jimmy Kimmel. 'I absolutely love that Colbert got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings,' Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social, per Variety. 'I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next. Has even less talent than Colbert!' Kimmel and Trump have been feuding for years, Decider reports. Not only did Trump blast Kimmel's time hosting the Oscars in 2024, but the late night host has spent almost every single evening on Jimmy Kimmel Live criticising Trump's politics in recent months. Kimmel was even moved to tears after Trump won the presidency in 2024, calling this a 'terrible night' for democracy and claiming he's on Trump's 'list of enemies.' Trump also took a shot at Jimmy Fallon while praising Fox News late night host Greg Gutfield. US President Donald Trump. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon) 'Greg Gutfield is better than all of them combined, including the Moron on NBC who ruined the once great Tonight Show,' he wrote. CBS announced it made the 'financial decision' to cancel The Late Show in a press release shared Thursday (July 17). The show is set to end in May 2026. 'We consider Stephen Colbert irreplaceable and will retire The Late Show franchise at that time. We are proud that Stephen called CBS home. He and the broadcast will be remembered in the pantheon of greats that graced late night television,' the statement reads, per The Hollywood Reporter. 'This is purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night. It is not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount.'

(Photo by Chris Delmas / AFP) The decision comes just days after Colbert criticised CBS' parent company for reaching a US$16 million (AU$24.5 million) settlement with President Trump after Trump accused 60 Minutes of editing an interview with Kamala Harris to mislead voters during the presidential election. Paramount is currently in the middle of a merger with Skydance Media that will require approval from Trump's administration. 'I don't know if anything — anything — will repair my trust in this company,' Colbert said on The Late Show earlier this week. 'But, just taking a stab at it, I'd say $16 million would help.' Kimmel wasted no time in speaking out in support of Colbert. 'Love you Stephen. F**k you and all your Sheldons CBS,' he wrote on Instagram.

Gina Rodriguez pregnant
Gina Rodriguez is pregnant. The 40-year-old actress - who already has son Charlie, two, with husband Joe LoCicero - walked the red carpet for Netflix's Katie Taylor Vs. Amanda Serrano fight at New York's Madison Square Garden on Friday (11.07.25) night in a close-fitting black floral dress that showed off her bump. Gina and Joe, 38, embraced as they posed for photos together, with the Jane the Virgin star cradled her stomach proudly. And on Sunday (13.07.25), Gina revealed she is expecting a baby girl. She shared a photo on Instagram, in which she wore loose grey trousers and a lemon-print short top, and wrote: "Baby girl coming thru!!! We are so excited for you lil mama.(sic)" The Someone Great actress previously admitted she was "afraid" to have a second child because she would feel guilty at taking attention away from Charlie. Asked about having another baby, she told People magazine: "It's gonna happen anyways, so I'm not trying to force it sooner than it needs to. "I'm afraid to have a second because of how much I love this guy. I already feel guilty about not being available to him at all times." When Charlie turned one last year, Gina and Joe went all out and threw a "rager" to mark the occasion. The actress said on Jimmy Kimmel Live, she said: "We had a rager. It was basically his first wedding. It felt right, on the worst day of the entire [week], but that didn't stop us. "It was indoors and half outdoors. Everything I planned was outside and so about five days prior I was like, 'I'm getting tents. Nobody's going to stop me,' and we had tents and it was great." Gina even had "Charlie merch" produced, badges made from her "favourite pictures of [her] little man". Handing one to the talk show host, she laughed: "I went a bit far. "We expect you to wear it nightly, but it's not a big deal." The Players star has been wowed by her husband's commitment to fatherhood. She told 'Entertainment Tonight': "It means absolutely everything. "I'm able to do the things that I love and be with my son 24/7 because he has him on set. Also, to see your husband with his boy and just be there for every single milestone and to take away that much desire that he may have outside of everything, I owe it all to my husband."
