Jelly Roll has revealed some details about the memorable table spot that he had with Logan Paul during a huge WWE SummerSlam tag team match.

One of the big matches at WWE SummerSlam saw Logan Paul team up with Drew McIntyre against Randy Orton and the popular singer, Jelly Roll.

It’s a match that was built up for a few weeks, with Paul bullying Jelly by telling him he didn’t belong there, while Jelly trashed Paul for being a jerk. Orton and McIntyre got involved to make it a tag team match involving two of WWE’s biggest stars.

During the match, Logan Paul stood on the ring post and delivered an incredible splash that put Jelly Roll through one of the commentary tables at ringside.

In an interview with Insight’s Chris Van Vliet, Jelly Roll admitted he practiced everything involved in the SummerSlam match, except that table bump.

“Thank you for bringing that up. I practiced everything, but that. It’s the scariest part of the night. It’s also the moment you know that’s going to go, because me and Logan had extensively been like, Look, man. If there was ever a time for you to jump, and I know you jump as crazy as you can every time, but if there was ever a time like this, this should make every headline in the world tomorrow. We knew we had that kind of a moment if we did it right.

I do remember the hardest part was, I don’t know if I should get this inside, but I got onto the table wrong, which everybody talked about, because I had to slip back, and did the worst job selling my slip back. But equally, I was scared because of where my back was sitting at that moment. I’d never been through it, and I didn’t know where this thing was going to break.

So like I had just a genuine self-preservation, like, f**k what everybody thinks. This is scary as f**k. But then I looked up, and when Logan took the two bottles, I just remember thinking, I’ll talk about this on my deathbed.

I’ll tell this story of what’s happening right here in this moment till I die. I don’t know how many other things in my life I’ll think are cool enough to talk about until it’s all over, but I will, for sure sit right here and think about this moment, dude.”

Jelly Roll Checked On Logan Paul After Being Put Through A Table

Even though Jelly Roll was the one who was put through a table, he made sure to check on Logan Paul to make sure he was okay.

“He comes, and he hits me, and all I hear is the clear sound of every bit of his air coming out of him, like a [wheezes], And I’m like, oh sh*t. So as soon as I land, I shoot over immediately towards Logan, real fast and cover my mouth. And I’m just like, ‘You okay, bro?’ I was worried I hurt him, he ate. I don’t think he hit the table, Chris. I think he hit all Jelly Roll.

I think he’s been used to jumping on people that are like half my width. So I don’t think he fully [knew], because he couldn’t practice for it neither. You can’t put a Jelly Roll size doll up, you’re just having to kind of guess.

Then I rolled back over, and I’m laying there, and I’m hurt, of course, I mean, because if you don’t hit that spot, not hurt a little bit, you hurt a lot the next day, but even in the moment, and I just remember looking up and seeing Fat Joe, and that’s my friend, and Druski was standing up behind him, and their faces were concerned.

And right then, I was like, we got it. I was like, I just got to sell it. And dude, no lie, I spent the next two minutes selling to just Fat Joe, nobody else. I don’t know how much of it was on camera, but I was just selling because I was like, if I can get Fat Joe to believe this, I am good. It’s getting there.”

As the match continued, Jelly Roll was able to tag back in, but he took the loss for his team when Logan Paul hit the Paul From Grace (Frog Splash) for the win.

Jelly Roll was originally going to win the match, but he had the finish changed because he felt it was better for the story.
