Jelly Roll Injured Himself During First Week of In-Ring Training

Jelly Roll has been putting in the work when it comes to his in-ring training, but it appears he went too hard as the singer revealed he injured himself while training.

While speaking to ESPN, Jelly Roll was asked about the most challenging part of wrestling training. He said it was the physical demands, stating that the idea of wrestling being “fake” is completely wrong.

According to him, there’s nothing fake about landing on a hard piece of plywood in front of 60,000 people or flipping over a cable rope with tens of thousands watching. Jelly Roll admitted that during just the first week of training, he accidentally broke his pinky finger. For him, the experience has been all about nonstop impact and hard-hitting collisions.

“The physicality. Man, listen—that whole ‘wrestling is fake’ idea? That needs to go out the window. There’s no fake way to land on a piece of plywood in front of 60,000 people. There’s no fake way to flip over a cable rope with 65,000 people watching, you know what I mean?

I broke my pinky finger by accident in the first week of training. It’s just constant impact, constant collision, man. It’s real, and it’s tough.”

Jelly Roll is set to team up with Randy Orton and square off against Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre in a tag team match at the SummerSlam Premium Live Event this week. Therefore, we’ll have to see whether Roll will be successful in his in-ring debut, as there are a lot of expectations about how he’ll perform.
