Jelly Roll said to have been “very self-aware” about his involvement in WrestleMania 42 storyline
During the latest episode of his podcast, media personality Bootleg Kev commented on singer Jelly Roll’s involvement in the Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton storyline leading up to WWE WrestleMania 42…
“I’m pretty comfortable in saying this because I think Jelly wanted his story [out]-I’m really close to Jelly Roll. He was very self-aware of the fact that he was being pushed into a storyline that he probably didn’t need to be pushed into.
He was being very vocal about wanting to be involved in a storyline that is still playing out currently that was more comedic. And he was like, ‘Guys, if you put me into this thing, I promise you it’s going to cook. It’s going to f*ck.’
And I was there at SmackDown in Phoenix, and I heard him having these conversations with certain people at WWE. If you’re him, you’re like, ‘Hey man, if you’re going to push me into the main event at WrestleMania, I’m not going to say no.’
And then, to me, it wasn’t even him so much. Like, the McAfee thing was just weird. It just made no sense. You had the guy—like, Randy—on the phone talking about, ‘There’s more than one family,’ and I’m like, ‘Is it going to be Ted DiBiase Jr.?’ Like, I just didn’t get the McAfee thing.”
