Jelly Roll is getting serious about stepping into the squared circle—and he’s been hiding it in plain sight.

During his appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, the country rap star dropped a bombshell: he’s been secretly living and training in Orlando at WWE’s Performance Center for nearly a month.

Jelly revealed that his WWE obsession started to take over his life once Triple H gave him the green light. He didn’t just dip a toe into training—he dove in headfirst.

“So I just kept pushing for it, man. And I have been training—this is, I’m announcing this on your show—I have quietly been living in Orlando for about four… three to four weeks at the PC. I’m showing up every day like a piece of furniture over there. They can’t kick me out of there, dude.”

The chart-topping artist isn’t just clocking in for a few hours either. He’s practically living at the facility, soaking in every detail of what it means to become a WWE Superstar.

“I’m there from the moment I wake up to the closes—almost. Well, I’m obsessed.”

Jelly also made it clear he isn’t doing this alone. When Pat McAfee asked who’s been guiding him day to day, Jelly didn’t hesitate to show love to the coaches who’ve been in his corner from the beginning.

“Matt Bloom’s my coach. I love you, Coach Bloom. Coach Bloom and Coach Moss are my guys. They’ve been every day with me.”

Jelly Roll’s grind is already paying off. He’s set to make his in-ring debut at WWE SummerSlam on August 2 in Cleveland, Ohio. He’ll team up with Randy Orton in a tag match against Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul. For someone who used to just sing about pain, he’s about to start delivering it.
