Jelly Roll says he’s training at WWE Performance Center every day

Jelly Roll is taking his pro wrestling training seriously.

The award-winning singer/songwriter is scheduled to make his in-ring debut at WWE SummerSlam, where he’ll team with Randy Orton in a tag match against Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre.

During an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show Wednesday, Jelly Roll said he’s been living in Orlando for the past few weeks and training at the WWE Performance Center every day to prepare.

“I have quietly been living in Orlando for about three or four weeks at the PC. Showing up every day like a piece of furniture over there. They can’t kick me out. I’m there from the moment I wake up till it closes almost. Matt Bloom’s my coach.

He also mentioned that The Undertaker and Michelle McCool came in to give him pointers the other day.

“Undertaker comes in with Michelle, his wife, and they come in and say, ‘Hey, we just want to watch for a minute, just kind of chill, is that cool?’ I was like, ‘Yeah, for sure.’ This is who he is as a human. The entire three-hour session, he and his wife stood on those ropes and just gave me pointer after pointer.”

He also says the wrestling training has helped him in his weight loss journey.

“I knew how physically grueling it was, and I knew that’s what I needed at this point in my weight loss journey that this would be the fire that I needed but man, if I took my shirt off right now, not only would you be appalled by the loose skin, but you would see I am beaten.”
