Jelly Roll Locked In for WWE SummerSlam Appearance After SmackDown Stop

Jelly Roll isn’t done with WWE just yet — in fact, it looks like things are only heating up heading into SummerSlam.

According to Dave Meltzer’s Figure Four Daily Update, WWE sources confirmed that Jelly Roll is not only set for SmackDown this Saturday but is also lined up to do something at SummerSlam 2025. The massive event takes place on August 2 and August 3, 2025, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

The news backs up recent reports from WrestleVotes, who revealed there’s been internal talk that Jelly Roll’s July 11 appearance on SmackDown would be “the start of something more.” WWE sources have now made it clear that’s exactly the case.

Jelly Roll has already made his presence felt on WWE programming in recent months, especially at SummerSlam 2024. That night, Jelly Roll kicked off the show by singing “America The Beautiful” and his hit song “Liar.” Later on, he got physical, delivering chair shots to both Grayson Waller and Austin Theory, which got a huge reaction inside Cleveland Browns Stadium. He even joined The Awesome Truth for a “15-Knuckle Shuffle” that sent the place into a frenzy.

WWE was “very happy” with Jelly Roll’s performance and appearance at the biggest party of the summer. He and Machine Gun Kelly were also featured guests during a segment announcing the event’s attendance, adding more star power to the show.

Jelly Roll has been open about his love for WWE and admitted there’s “unfinished business.” With his tour schedule wide open that weekend and WWE looking to run it back, SummerSlam 2025 looks like the perfect opportunity.

WWE locking Jelly Roll in for SummerSlam adds another major attraction to the already stacked card at MetLife Stadium.
