WWE Has Big Plans For Another Major Celebrity

Another celebrity could get involved at WWE SummerSlam.

Back in September, it was announced that Hip Hop megastar Cardi B would be the host of the first-ever two-night SummerSlam. The event is set to take place at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on August 2 and August 3.

The announcement came as WWE continues to embrace mainstream and celebrity culture, arguably like never before. This push to hit the mainstream saw Travis Scott not only stand in the ring as John Cena turned heel at Elimination Chamber but also make a (albeit very slow) run-in during the main event of WrestleMania 41.

And what’s more, it seems that the policy looks set to continue.

Is Jelly Roll Heading To WWE SummerSlam?

It’s been confirmed that Jelly Roll is scheduled to appear on the upcoming July 11 edition of SmackDown in Nashville, Tennessee. But it seems like that appearance might be the start of something much larger.

According to a report from Wrestle Votes, WWE expects the appearance to be the beginning of “something more,” and there are hopes he’ll make additional appearances.

Perhaps not unsignificantly, although the star is currently touring, there’s a break in his schedule during SummerSlam weekend.

According to sources, several within WWE expect Jelly Roll’s upcoming appearance on SmackDown (7/11) to be the start of something more. There’s anticipation the music superstar will make additional appearances in the near future.

Worth noting: while currently touring, Jelly Roll is off the first weekend of August.

Jelly Roll does have a history with WWE, having appeared at SummerSlam 2024, where he ended up hitting Austin Theory with a Chokeslam.
