Music star Jelly Roll will host an upcoming episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live on July 16, 2024, with WWE superstar Randy Orton appearing as a guest. This collaboration marks an exciting crossover between the music and professional wrestling worlds, as both are set to participate in a major event at WWE SummerSlam later this summer.
The announcement came during Monday’s episode of WWE’s Raw, where fans were informed about Jelly Roll’s hosting duties. This appearance follows Jelly Roll’s involvement in a storyline that features Orton, Logan Paul, and Drew McIntyre. During a recent SmackDown episode, Jelly Roll faced intimidation from Paul, prompting Orton to intervene. Subsequently, McIntyre joined forces with Paul to attack Orton, escalating the ongoing feud.
In an effort to build anticipation for the upcoming matches, both Jelly Roll and Randy Orton participated in Saturday Night’s Main Event, where Orton faced McIntyre in a singles match. The storyline has culminated in a tag team match featuring Orton and Jelly Roll against Paul and McIntyre, scheduled for the two-night event of SummerSlam on August 2 and August 3 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
The excitement surrounding Jelly Roll’s hosting role adds a unique twist to the traditional late-night format, as his music career continues to gain momentum. Jimmy Kimmel Live airs each weeknight at 11:35 p.m. Eastern time on ABC, providing a platform for both entertainment and wrestling fans to engage with their favorite personalities.
As the SummerSlam event approaches, the collaboration between Jelly Roll and WWE showcases a growing trend of crossover events that blend different facets of popular culture, further enhancing the entertainment landscape. Fans are eagerly awaiting how these developments will unfold both on the late-night stage and in the wrestling ring.
