Jelly Roll recently disclosed which WWE star is mentoring him as he prepares for his in-ring debut at SummerSlam. He is scheduled to compete at WWE SummerSlam next month and shared details about his training during an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show.
Jelly Roll revealed that he has been living quietly in Orlando for three to four weeks, dedicating his time to training at the WWE Performance Center. He mentioned that fellow wrestler Jacob Fatu has been training alongside him, while other WWE legends like Kevin Owens, The Undertaker, and Michelle McCool have also contributed to his preparation.
He explained, “I started talking with Hunter [Triple H], and I’ve been involved with WWE for the past few years. Every time I lose weight, they ask if I’m still fit for the ring or need to lose more. I’ve been pushing myself hard. I’ve been living at the Performance Center for weeks, spending my entire days there because I’m obsessed with training.”
Jelly Roll added, “Matt Bloom is coaching me, and The Undertaker came by with Michelle McCool to give me some pointers during a three-hour session. Kevin Owens also made time for me. When Randy and ‘The Viper’ showed interest in helping, I felt really supported. I’m truly grateful to Drew and Logan as well.”
