While I understand why Jelly Roll made his return to WWE tonight, as it is WrestleMania season, after all, the segment was overall pretty confusing and fell flat for me. I loved the backstage segment where Danhausen cursed The Miz ahead of him hosting “Miz TV” alongside “Jam Jelly,” as Danhausen called him, but I didn’t expect the “very nice, very evil” one to appear in the ring for the segment.
He didn’t, but having already tempered my expectations, I wasn’t too upset about that. I didn’t even think that Miz trying to get on Jelly Roll’s good side and butter him up (pun not intended) to be his next tag team partner was bad or anything, as Jelly Roll had a good comeback about how Miz always seems to turn on his partners. What really confused me was the appearance of Kit Wilson, and I say that as someone who really likes Wilson.
I just do not understand what WWE is doing with this character whatsoever. I half expected Oba Femi to strut down the ramp to join this confrontation, after his matches and mini-feud about “Toxic Masculinity” with Wilson, though I’m very glad he didn’t join the fray.
I guess it made some kind of sense, as Wilson explained he didn’t like Jelly for the face tattoos and felonies and such, which make him “toxic,” in Wilson’s mind, but I don’t think the plan is going to be Jelly Roll and Wilson on the “Grandest Stage of Them All.” I guess they could move toward a Miz and Wilson tag team, which I wouldn’t mind, and Jelly could find himself a partner, though at this current point in time, I’m not sure who that would be. Miz isn’t feuding with anyone right now, outside of his storyline with Danhausen, and again, I don’t think Danhausen is getting to ‘Mania alongside Jelly Roll.
Later, it was announced that next week, Wilson will be “calling out Jelly Roll” on the show, which is slightly odd, since that’s what he already did tonight. I believe the show is in Raleigh, North Carolina next week if my Googling serves me right, and I don’t know if Jelly Roll is going to make the trek out there. At that point, we’ll have just four weeks until WrestleMania, so Wilson calling out the star next week seems like that might be where we’re headed. I can’t say I understand it whatsoever, and it seems like it would only add to the trainwreck that is WrestleMania 42, even if it is a tag team match.
