The relationship between WWE and multi-platinum artist Jelly Roll continues to grow as the industry prepares for its biggest event in Las Vegas. Following a series of video messages and a high-profile match last summer, sources indicate that a potential appearance of Jelly Roll at WrestleMania 42 is now being finalized. Backstage reports from WrestleVotes Radio suggest the musician has earned “universal praise” for his professionalism and his genuine passion for the wrestling business.

Fans will not have to wait until April to see him back in a WWE ring. Jelly Roll is scheduled to appear in person on the March 13 episode of SmackDown in Phoenix, Arizona. This follows his appearance via video last week, where he congratulated Randy Orton on his Elimination Chamber win and threw his support behind Cody Rhodes. The singer’s presence on the road to Allegiant Stadium comes at a perfect time, as Jelly Roll appearing at WrestleMania 42 coincides with his debut as a playable character in the WWE 2K26 video game, which officially launches on March 13.

Jelly Roll has proven he is willing to do more than just stand on the stage. At SummerSlam 2025, he teamed with Orton to face Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre, famously taking a “Paul from Grace” through an announce table. His commitment to the product has even extended to other promotions, as he and Teddy Swims recently appeared at TNA No Surrender in February to celebrate with Trey Miguel. With WrestleMania 42 taking place on April 18 and 19, the Grammy-nominated star seems poised to “run it back” for another memorable moment on the grandest stage of them all.
