Jelly Roll Wins Over WWE SummerSlam Crowd with Folding Chair Smack and Epic Chokeslam Move: 'I Lived a Childhood Dream'

• Jelly Roll “lived a childhood dream” by stepping into the ring at WWE SummerSlam 2024.

• Jelly also grabbed Theory by the neck and delivered an epic choke

Jelly Roll made another “childhood dream” come true. And this one required kicking ass.

The country superstar, 39, entered the ring at WWE SummerSlam 2024 on Aug. 3, when he immediately won over the Cleveland Browns Stadium crowd by teaming with wrestlers The Miz and R-Truth to take on Austin Theory and Grayson Waller.

During the display of wrestling prowess, the “Lonely Road” singer sat in the crowd dressed in black with friend Machine Gun Kelly, before Theory and Waller began to chase him out of the ring. However, Jelly didn’t take it and soon appeared right behind the duo holding a black folding chair, which he then used to hit Waller on the back.

For the grand finale, Jelly grabbed Theory by the neck and performed an epic choke slam as the trio gave Theory a taste of the five-finger shuffle — made famous by none other than John Cena.

“Crazy — I lived out a childhood dream tonight in the craziest way I’ve ever lived,” Jelly later wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “Wow. Man, thank you @WWE for everything. What a night.”

Elsewhere during his time at SummerSlam, Jelly performed his new song “Liar” after an introduction from Triple H. During the event, he hung out with Triple H and even the Undertaker, while WWE shared some behind-the-scenes clips from of their socializing over the weekend.

“When you see somebody make it to the level that they have, and they’re still a big fan of what we’re doing, that’s the best for us,” Triple H said while standing next to the country singer. “When we can all come together, we love our music and he loves our product, we share that passion together, man.”

Cena himself was also quick to say hi to Jelly on Xu (formerly Twitter) after noticing him using his signature move in action. He even informally invited him to repeat everything.

“I’ve listened to his music, had the privilege of spending some time with him, and now know I have a GREAT option for a tag team partner whenever @WWE comes to Nashville,” Cena wrote. “The time is now @JellyRoll615!!!! #SummerSlam”

Aside from just pelting his opponents with chairs, Jelly Roll has had plenty of success in 2024 so far. In June, the musician booked his first international shows after years of only touring the US, having played two shows in Canada last month.

Soon to embark on his Beautifully Broken arena tour hitting 37 US cities, Jelly just released his new track with MGK, “Lonely Road.” The song, which features a new version of John Denver’s classic “Take Me Home, Country Roads,” arrived alongside a video featuring the duo’s other halves Megan Fox and Bunnie Xo.

“What makes this collab so beautiful is its two dudes coming from the exact same place with less than zero success,” Jelly wrote on Instagram after the track was released last month. “We’ve known each other for at least 15 years. And in true young, stupid fashion, it was a tumultuous beginning and actually because I was one of the many people who judged him before I gave him a chance. But over time, I had an honor to watch him become one of the greatest artists in the world, but most importantly I watched him become one of the best fathers and men in the world.”

“To my brother, I want you to know the positive energy that radiates from you. I can’t shower you with enough praise for how incredible it has been to watch you become one of the greatest multifaceted songwriters and musicians in the game,” he concluded.
