Grammy-winning musician Jelly Roll is reportedly set to be involved in WWE SummerSlam 2025. According to a new report from Dave Meltzer, WWE sources have confirmed that the popular artist has been “lined up for something” at the two-night event.
This news follows a previous report from WrestleVotes, which indicated that Jelly Roll’s upcoming appearance on the July 11th episode of SmackDown would be “the start of something more.” It now appears that the ‘something more’ is a significant role at The Biggest Party of the Summer.
A History Of WWE Celebrity Crossovers
WWE has a long and successful history of integrating celebrities into its biggest events to generate mainstream attention. In recent years, stars like Bad Bunny and Logan Paul have set a new standard for celebrity involvement.
Both have been lauded for their dedication and impressive in-ring performances, with Logan Paul currently reigning as the United States Champion.
Other notable celebrity matches include “Arrow” star Stephen Amell teaming with Neville to face Stardust (Cody Rhodes) and King Barrett at SummerSlam 2015. These appearances are most successful when the celebrity shows genuine passion and respect for the business, something Jelly Roll has in spades.

Jelly Roll’s WWE History
Jelly Roll is a well-known, lifelong WWE fan and has already made an impact on WWE programming. At SummerSlam 2024, he performed for the live crowd and later got involved in a physical confrontation.
During a segment between Awesome Truth (The Miz and R-Truth) and A-Town Down Under (Austin Theory and Grayson Waller), Jelly Roll came to the aid of Awesome Truth. He shocked the crowd by delivering a chokeslam to Austin Theory, proving he is more than willing to get physically involved.
This history suggests his role at SummerSlam 2025 could be more than just a musical performance. The two-night event will take place on August 2nd and 3rd at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
While his exact role is still unknown, Jelly Roll’s involvement adds another layer of excitement to what is shaping up to be a massive weekend for WWE.
