Wednesday night on Jimmy Kimmel Live took an unexpected turn when the planned interview with guest host Jelly Roll and Randy Orton turned into a full-blown WWE showdown. What started as a casual conversation quickly descended into chaos as Drew McIntyre stormed the set, and Logan Paul dramatically crashed through a glass table.
The segment kicked off with a throwback to Orton’s time on WWE Saturday Night Main Event, where Jelly Roll reminisced about McIntyre’s Claymore kick. Orton reassured the host, saying, "We’ve come back to each other. That’s what we’re about. At SummerSlam, we get ours." But the mood shifted abruptly when McIntyre interrupted, declaring, "I’ve come to peace," only to launch a series of low blows at Jelly Roll.
McIntyre insulted Jelly Roll, calling him an "inspiration for trailer trash worldwide," and taunted him about watching his ‘little totee’ roll after losing weight. This provoked Orton, who fired back, "I didn’t fly here to see you act like an idiot. Wrong time, wrong place."
The two wrestlers then engaged in an on-set brawl, crashing into the backstage area, while Jelly Roll struggled to control the chaos. The mayhem escalated when Logan Paul entered the scene, quickly provoking Jelly Roll with jabs about his multiple personas—late-night host, wrestler, and country star—calling him a "greasy country prison rat."
Paul then pushed Jelly Roll’s face down and boasted, "I have your receipt, I’m stupid. It’s the Logan Paul show, a real superstar." This was met with aggressive retaliation from Jelly Roll, who slapped Paul and grabbed him by the throat. The segment culminated with Jelly Roll chokeslamming Paul onto the interview table, sending the audience into a frenzy.
Although Jelly Roll started the night as a guest host, he ended it making a strong WWE star statement by putting Logan Paul through a table. This chaotic yet thrilling stunt serves as a perfect ramp-up as SummerSlam approaches.
