Jelly Roll is speaking out after his involvement in the chaotic WrestleMania 42 main event — and he had a direct message for Pat McAfee following the wild moment that left the commentator dealing with injuries.
After being part of the feud leading into WrestleMania 42, the country music star played a major role in the match between Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton. During the chaos, Jelly Roll delivered a splash that sent Pat McAfee crashing through the announce table, adding to the mayhem that unfolded ringside.
Following the match, Jelly Roll addressed McAfee directly in a message shared on his YouTube vlog. While reflecting on the situation, he admitted that stepping into the ring may not have been the smartest move for either of them.
“I had one goal tonight and I kind of succeeded. Pat, I love you man, neither one of us had any business here.”
Jelly Roll continued by encouraging McAfee to return to what he does best, while joking about his own future after stepping into the wrestling spotlight.
“I say we get back to what we’re good at man, even though I’m not actually really good at anything. But, you’re great at something so go do it. I’ll keep searching for what I’m going to do when I grow up.”
The message comes after McAfee previously detailed the physical toll from WrestleMania 42, revealing concerns about potential neck injuries following the splash through the announce table and the chaos that followed with Randy Orton.
In the aftermath of WrestleMania weekend, McAfee has since confirmed that he is completely out of the wrestling business, making Jelly Roll’s message feel like a final word on their unexpected involvement in one of the biggest matches of the year.
With McAfee stepping away and Jelly Roll reflecting on the moment, the fallout from WrestleMania 42 continues to shape what happens next for everyone involved.
