Triple H has revealed that singer Jelly Roll is eying a WWE match in the future.
The Grammy-nominated artist is a vocal wrestling fan who even made an appearance at SummerSlam this year to give a chokeslam to Austin Theory.
During yesterday’s Netflix media event promoting Raw’s upcoming debut, The WWE Chief Content Officer discussed future celebrity involvement in the product. He specifically mentioned Jelly Roll who has been on a weight loss journey recently, saying that the singer & songwriter is aiming to have a match in WWE:
“I just saw Jelly Roll the other day and he’s still raving about wrestling. Every time I see him, he says the same thing, ‘I got another 100 pounds to go, baby, and I’m doing a match with you guys,'”
The American singer has previously detailed his battle with food addiction and his efforts to lose weight. In an interview with People last month he revealed that he has lost over 100 pounds just this year. The 40-year-old also frequently talks about wrestling, even revealing his thoughts on subjects such as the nuances of storytelling that have helped WWE grow its business in recent years.
Along with Triple H, WWE President Nick Khan was also present at the event. He revealed what rating WWE shows will have when they move to Netflix in January. You can check out his comments here.
