Jelly Roll showing up at TNA No Surrender in Nashville turned heads — but now Tessa Blanchard has turned the moment into something much more personal.
After the Grammy winner was spotted front row at TNA’s February 13 event at The Pinnacle, fans immediately started speculating about what his appearance could mean for wrestling. Two days later, on February 15, 2026, Blanchard took to Instagram to share a backstage photo with Jelly Roll — and her message wasn’t about wrestling angles.
It was about gratitude. Blanchard opened her post by making it clear how much his presence meant to her during the Nashville weekend. Then she got real about how his music has impacted her during difficult stretches in her life.
“What an honor and absolute blessing having @jellyroll615 with us this past weekend in Nashville.”
“His music has dug me out of some seasons where things were heavy and clarity was hard to come by.”
“Faith isn’t always polished.. sometimes it’s being met right where you are and finding the strength to push forward. #JesusIsForEverybody”
While fans were busy debating whether Jelly Roll’s appearance hinted at future in-ring action — especially after his WWE run that included competing at SummerSlam 2025 — Blanchard’s post shifted the narrative. Instead of teasing a storyline, she made it clear the connection was personal.
Jelly Roll has become increasingly comfortable around wrestling, but this time, it wasn’t about taking a bump or stepping into the ring. It was about showing up in his hometown — and clearly leaving an impression backstage.
Do you think Jelly Roll’s presence at TNA No Surrender was just hometown support, or could this open the door for another wrestling chapter? Sound off in the comments and let us know.
