WWE

The Rock’s reaction after Jelly Roll’s in-ring debut at WWE SummerSlam back in August of this year has been revealed.

The match saw the rapper and songwriter team with Randy Orton in a losing effort against Logan Paul & Drew McIntyre.

Speaking on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Jelly Roll revealed details of their messages over the years, which led to their first meeting a decade later, saying:

“Dude, it was like I almost cried when I hugged him, just for all he’s done for me, as a friend.

“I don’t know if I’ve ever expressed this this way, but dude, when he first discovered my music he sent me a message. He was the biggest box office star in the world at the time, and I was an underground rapper from Antioch, Tennessee with 100,000 YouTube subscribers.

“This dude just immediately started pouring into me, sending voice notes, not even just messages on Instagram, voice notes, so you know it’s him. It’s like, ‘Hey, brother, just want you to know I spent some time in Nashville, gave me his Nashville history, and he was like, I understand you, the world will understand you. Be patient with them. They might not get it now, but they’ll get it. You’re speaking for a group of people that’s unspoken for.’ This dude saying stuff to me like this a decade ago.”

With their first meeting clearly having an impact on Jelly Roll, the celebrity star would go on to share the praise he received following his in-ring debut, saying:

“Just, all praises. Because I talked to him about it, then I was like, ‘Man, I think I want to get involved in a match.’ He’s like, ‘You can get healthy enough?’ I was like, Yeah, man. He’s like, ‘Go shoot for it, brother.’

“DJ’s energy is, how can I help? Like, he’s got that energy in life. Anytime you get around him, it’s automatically processed. and then he’s like how can I help? So he immediately, I’m like, I’m having a match, and he stops, we’re walking, and he stops and looks at me and goes, ‘How can I help?’ I’m like no I got it, I’m talking to Triple H. Like, we’re good.

“He’s like, just let me know. You know what I mean. But like, that instant, like, that’s his spirit in life.”

On the subject of conversations with Triple H, Jelly Roll would also go into detail about wanting to lose his debut match in WWE.

Following the success of Jelly Roll and Bad Bunny in WWE, Triple H has also discussed the reason for celebrity involvement.
