Jelly Roll Chokeslams Logan Paul Through a Desk After Wrestler Trash-Talks Him
NEED TO KNOW After Logan Paul interrupted Jelly Roll's interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the country singer brought him down with a chokeslam Jelly and Paul previously faced off at WWE's SmackDown! In August, Jelly will appear at SummerSlam for a tag team match with Randy OrtonDon't mess with Jelly Roll! On Wednesday, July 16, the country star took over Jimmy Kimmel Live! as guest host and interviewed WWE legend Randy Orton, who's set to be his tag team partner at SummerSlam next month. At the wrestling event, the pair will face off against Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre. "Don't worry about those guys, Jelly. We got them," Orton, 45, said to the "Need a Favor" singer, 40, who said he is "worried about them." "We got each other's back man. We're in this together," Orton said. Moments later, McIntyre — who insisted he came in peace — crashed the interview to trash talk Jelly. "Nobody flew here to see you act like a prick. Wrong time, wrong place. Why don't you back the f--- up?" Orton said to McIntyre as he gave him a shove, which led to a full-blown fight. "I don't know what to do... I guess we're gonna go to commercial break," Jelly said after the wrestlers fought their way off the stage. Then, Paul appeared onstage and started trash-talking Jelly. "You people are so stupid. Someone has to stop him. What are you dummy? You're a late-night talk show host? You a wrestler? You a country star? I told you this Mr. Dummy Roll. Stay in your lane, stupid, because I'll tell you what you are. You, my friend, are a greasy, red neck, prison rat," he said, before giving Jelly a slap across the face. He continued, "Congrats, it's Logan Paul's show now. A real superstar. So ladies and gentlemen, you want to see a real star? I'm here. Why don't you leave?" After recovering from the slap, Jelly grabbed him by the neck and chokeslammed him on the desk, causing it to shatter. As the crowd cheered, Paul laid unconscious on the ground. On July 11, Jelly made an appearance at SmackDown! in Nashville and had a face-off with Paul. At the time, he got the crowd roaring when he came to Orton's defense and sent Paul tumbling across the ring. Meanwhile, as host for Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Jelly delivered a hilarious monologue to kick off the night — and revealed to the crowd that he had a plan in case his jokes didn't land. "I need y'all to be patient with me tonight," said Jelly. "This is my first time doing something like this, and I'm going to try my best. I am. But if I really suck bad, y'all just remember — my name is Post Malone." Read the original article on People

Jelly Roll Celebrated His ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!' Hosting Gig By Chokeslamming Logan Paul Through His Desk
Jelly Roll made quite the impression during his debut as the guest host of Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday night (July 16). 'Do not adjust your TV, Jimmy did not join [Salvadoran street gang] MS-13,' Jelly said to open his monologue, which included a joke about his felonious past. 'Y'all know every guest gets on here and they say it's great to be here,' he added. 'But I want to talk to y'all speaking as a guy who has been to prison before, it really is great to be here.' The country star had jokes, quipping that if he blew the assignment and 'I really suck bad,' they should remember that his name is 'Post Malone,' a friendly dig at his pal with whom he just wrapped the Big Ass Stadium tour. In addition to giving the staff nicknames and taking a playful dig at the ESPY Awards taking place across town with his own 'Jelly Awards,' the 'Son of a Sinner' singer was mostly focused on one thing: his upcoming wrestling debut.

'SummerSlam's going to be a big moment for me,' he said. 'I faced my share of struggles in life y'all. I faced adversity, I overcame and I am going to have a moment that every American has dreamed and that is the moment of slapping Logan Paul in his f–king face!' The hype continued during Jelly Roll's chat with his wrestling partner Orton, when McIntyre and Paul interrupted his interview with the third-generation grappler and things went sideways after Jelly admitted he was a bit worried about the showdown. Uninvited guest McIntyre initially praised Jelly Roll for 'working his arse off' and losing 200 pounds, calling him an 'inspiration to trailer trash all across the world.' Orton defended his partner, landing a series of blows on McIntyre as they punched their way off stage and Paul swaggered out to a chorus of boos, insulting 'Mr. Dummy Roll' and telling him to stay in his lane. Jelly wasn't having it. After Paul smacked him in the face and called him a 'greasy redneck prison rat,' Jelly grabbed Paul and chokeslammed him through the breakaway host desk. 'What up dog? You come in here messin' with me, son!' he yelled as Paul lay prone in a pile of splinters. Before things went pear-shaped, Orton had high praise for his tag team partner, lauding lifelong wrestling fanatic Jelly for his work ethic. 'I've never seen somebody work so hard to get into our ring, to step into our world… we're gonna tear it up!' The training showed in both Jelly's expert smack talk and smackdown, as well as his smooth, relaxed hosting abilities, including during a sweet show-opening interview with actor Jeremy Renner. Jelly and Paul first butted heads back on July 11 when the singer stepped into the ring during a Smackdown event — a year after making his WWE debut at SummerSlam 2024 — to sing his hit 'Liar' and get into it with Paul. After some digs about his checkered past from Paul and a surprise appearance by Orton, who defended Jelly, McIntyre blindsided Orton. The singer jumped to his friend's defense and pulled Paul back by the hair and shoved him aside, but not before Logan smashed up Jelly's musical equipment, trashing his guitars and drum set. The carefully calibrated confrontation, of course, set up their upcoming showdown at the Aug. 2-3 SummerSlam at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.

The feud involving Randy Orton, Drew McIntyre, Logan Paul, and the musician Jelly Roll is reportedly set to continue on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live! this Wednesday night. According to a new report from PWInsider, the announced appearance of Randy Orton on the show is no coincidence. A wrestling angle is expected to take place to further build the massive tag team match scheduled for SummerSlam. WWE Angle Expected On 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' This Wednesday, July 16th, Jelly Roll is scheduled to guest host the popular talk show. His announced guests include actor Jeremy Renner and WWE Legend Randy Orton. The PWInsider report suggests that fans should expect either Drew McIntyre or Logan Paul to make a surprise appearance to confront Orton and continue their feud. This comes after a chaotic weekend of WWE programming. On the July 11th episode of SmackDown, Logan Paul confronted Jelly Roll before being saved by Orton. Drew McIntyre then attacked Orton, leading to Jelly Roll making the save for "The Viper." This all led to another angle at Saturday Night's Main Event, where a tag team match was officially announced for SummerSlam: Randy Orton and Jelly Roll vs. Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul.

Jimmy Kimmel spotted lighting up Netflix's 'The Greatest Night in Pop' premiere. MoreUsing a mainstream talk show to advance a wrestling storyline is a time-honored tradition in the industry. The most famous example occurred in 1982 when comedian Andy Kaufman and wrestler Jerry "The King" Lawler appeared on Late Night with David Letterman. During the interview, Lawler slapped Kaufman out of his chair in a moment that blurred the lines between reality and entertainment and brought wrestling to a national, mainstream audience. The Modern WWE Crossover Strategy In the 1990s, WCW famously used Jay Leno's The Tonight Show to build a pay-per-view main event between Leno & Diamond Dallas Page and Hulk Hogan & Eric Bischoff. For WWE, bringing their top stars and storylines to a platform like Jimmy Kimmel Live! is a proven way to garner media attention ahead of a major event like SummerSlam. More news: WWE News: Steve Austin Reveals Real-Life Vince McMahon Confrontation The storyline itself is a perfect example of WWE's modern strategy under TKO of utilizing major crossover stars. Logan Paul, the current United States Champion, has proven to be a legitimate in-ring talent and a major draw. Jelly Roll, a Grammy-winning artist and lifelong wrestling fan, has shown he is more than willing to get physically involved, as seen in his previous WWE appearances.
