Jelly Roll has revealed the real reason why he told Triple H that he wanted to lose his in-ring debut at WWE SummerSlam.
Jelly Roll stepped into the ring for the first time at WWE SummerSlam in New Jersey this past weekend, where he teamed with Randy Orton to face off against Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre.
The match ended when Logan Paul pinned Jelly Roll, picking up the victory for he and Drew, which surprised some fans watching, due to Jelly Roll being a celebrity wrestler.
Speaking to Cody Rhodes on What Do You Wanna Talk About?, Jelly opened up on the match, and why he told Triple H he wanted to lose at SummerSlam.
He said:
“I told Triple H I want to lose at SummerSlam. Just cause no celebrity’s ever took an ‘L’, they always put them over. And if you don’t put me over, I always have a reason, there’s always just something lingering there, I can pop up anytime.”
Jelly also opened up on his training for the match, praising NXT stars Hank and Tank, as well as Channing ‘Stacks’ Lorenzo, for helping him train.
He added:
“A couple of NXT kids that I want to shout out that really deserve it. Tag team champs over there are called Hank and Tank. I can’t wait till they get called up. I am cheering for them to get called up. The day they get called up, I’m going to cancel the show to come show up for them. They’ve been that good to me. But even better to me is a kid named Mitch, they call him Stacks at NXT.
“These dudes have showed up for me every day and took tens, dozens of bumps a day for me every day while I’m learning this thing.”
