Jelly Roll gives credit to WWE stars ahead of SummerSlam: 'That wrestling-is-fake stuff gotta go out the door'

WWE star Naomi talks to Fox News Digital ahead of her match at SummerSlam against Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky.

Country music star Jelly Roll is set for a tag-team match at SummerSlam with WWE star Randy Orton against Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul this weekend.

Jelly Roll appeared at WrestleMania 41 back in April, and as of late he was mixing it up in the ring as he tried to save Orton from McIntyre and Paul’s assaults. The 6-foot-1 music star also took a dropkick to the face from McIntyre at Saturday Night’s Main Event.

On the penultimate "Friday Night SmackDown" before SummerSlam, Jelly Roll delivered a Black Hole Slam to Paul. It was one of the last licks to get in before his match.

Make no mistake, Jelly Roll said, pro wrestling is as real as it gets.

"These men and women put their bodies through hell … I really understand it now that I went in there. . . . Listen man, that wrestling-is-fake stuff gotta go out the door," he said Friday on ESPN’s "Get Up." "There’s no fake way to land on a piece of plywood in-front of 60,000 people. There’s no fake way to go over a cable rope.

"I broke my pinkie week one of training by accident. It’s a constant collision."

Jelly Roll added that he wouldn’t have had "any courage" to perform at SummerSlam if he didn’t have Orton in his corner.
