Jelly Roll Suffered Injury During First Week Of WWE Training

Jelly Roll is set to step into the ring this weekend, teaming up with Randy Orton to do battle with Logan Paul & Drew McIntyre at WWE’s first ever two-night SummerSlam premium live event at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. However, his road to SummerSlam didn’t leave him unscathed. 

When appearing on ESPN’s Get Up, Jelly Roll spoke on the difficulty of WWE’s training, revealing that he broke a finger during his very first training session. 

“Listen man, that wrestling’s fake stuff has got to go out the door. There’s no fake way to land on a piece of plywood in front of 60,000 people, you know what I mean? There’s no fake way to go over a cable rope in front of 65,000 people, man. I broke my pinky week one of training by accident. That thing, it’s a constant collision, dude.

“These men and women put their body through hell. And I knew it, and I think as a fan my whole life — and I’m a real fan, that’s how I ended up here — but I really understand it now that I’ve went in there. I gave it everything I had for a couple of months. I dedicated my whole life to it. And I still can’t crack half of the code, a quarter of the code that actually is this thing. But it’s been awesome. It taught me a lot about myself.”

It was reported in recent weeks that WWE were very impressed with Jelly Roll and hoped to have him back in the future.
