Jelly Roll and Logan Paul get physical on WWE SmackDown
Music star Jelly Roll and social media personality Logan Paul got physically involved in an angle on Friday’s WWE SmackDown.
In an advertised appearance, Jelly Roll was performing a song on Friday’s episode when Paul interrupted and shouted him down. Randy Orton intervened on Jelly Roll’s behalf, but was laid out by the interfering Drew McIntyre. Paul then pounced on Orton and landed strikes before Jelly Roll took exception and attacked Paul.
Paul made a hasty retreat, but destroyed the Jelly Roll concert set on the stage in retaliation. While Orton and McIntyre will go one-on-one on Saturday Night’s Main Event this weekend, the longer-term direction appears to be McIntyre and Paul vs. Orton and Jelly Roll in a tag team match.
A report emerged this week that Jelly Roll has been training for in-ring action, and has SummerSlam weekend off from his touring schedule.
SummerSlam will take place at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The two-night event is set for Saturday, August 2 and Sunday, August 3. The show will feature John Cena defending the Undisputed WWE Championship against Cody Rhodes.
