Jelly Roll’s WWE involvement is gaining serious momentum — and it could be pointed directly toward WrestleMania.
On last night’s SmackDown, the country rap star appeared on Miz TV alongside The Miz and Kit Wilson. The segment turned physical when Jelly Roll knocked out The Miz with a punch, prompting Kit Wilson to step forward and call out Jelly Roll for a match next week on SmackDown.
WrestleMania Tag Match With Royce Keys Being Discussed for Jelly Roll
Behind the scenes, conversations about a bigger role appear to be underway. WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select indicated on Thursday that talks between WWE and Jelly Roll could result in a WrestleMania appearance. Adding more detail, sources told Bodyslam that Jelly Roll has been specifically discussed for a tag team match at WrestleMania, with Royce Keys as his potential partner.
The pairing would reportedly be built around the shared stories of hardship both men have experienced in their personal lives — a narrative hook that would give the match emotional weight beyond the celebrity spectacle. With WrestleMania 42 set for Las Vegas in April, WWE still has time to develop the angle through SmackDown in the coming weeks.
Nothing has been officially confirmed, but between last night’s on-screen confrontation and the reported backstage discussions, Jelly Roll’s path to the Showcase of the Immortals appears to be taking shape.
