As he gears up for the highly anticipated WWE SummerSlam, Jelly Roll has been diligently training for several months. In a recent interview with ESPN, he revealed that he faced an injury during his very first week of training, highlighting the unexpected challenges that come with such a physically demanding endeavor.

In a recent episode of Get Up on ESPN, Jelly Roll, alongside his tag team partner and WWE superstar Randy Orton, opened up about his experience. He shared, “I broke my pinky week one of training by accident…it’s a constant collision,” emphasizing the intensity and physicality involved in wrestling training.

While gesturing towards Orton, Jelly Roll remarked, “Look at this mountain of a man. I walked in and I looked small compared to the guy I’m wrestling.” His self-awareness and humor reflect the daunting task of stepping into the ring with seasoned athletes.

Orton humorously responded, “Well, that’s because you lost 200 freakin’ pounds,” alluding to Jelly Roll’s well-documented journey towards improved health and fitness. This transformation has undoubtedly contributed to his confidence and performance in the ring.

“Yeah, baby!” Jelly Roll exclaimed, radiating his characteristic enthusiasm. His passion for both music and wrestling is evident as he embraces the challenges that come with this new venture.

During the interview, Jelly Roll expressed his deep admiration for the professional wrestlers of WWE. He shared, “I gave it everything I had for a couple of months, I dedicated my life to it, and I still can’t crack half of the code, a quarter of the code, that actually is this thing. But it’s been awesome. It taught me a lot about myself,” showcasing his respect for the sport and its athletes.

He further elaborated on the intense challenges of training, stating, “Listen, man, that ‘Wrestlin’s fake’ stuff has to go out the door. There’s no fake way to land on a piece of plywood in front of 60,000 people. There’s no fake way to go over a cable rope in front of 65,000 people.” His comments highlight the physical risks and realities that professional wrestlers face in their careers.

The WWE SummerSlam event is scheduled for Saturday, August 2, and Sunday, August 3, where Jelly Roll and Orton will face off against formidable opponents Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul. Fans are eagerly anticipating this thrilling showdown.
