WWE Chief Creative Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque made an appearance on the WWE SummerSlam 2025 post-show to reflect on the evening and speak directly about the performance of country music star Jelly Roll, who earlier in the night made his in-ring debut alongside Randy Orton in a tag team match against Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre.

During the segment, Triple H praised Jelly Roll for his dedication, work ethic, and what he brought to the ring. Despite the loss, Jelly Roll’s performance impressed the WWE locker room and its leadership, with Triple H sharing that he personally told him, “You earned your spot in our business. You earned that.” He emphasized how rare it is for him to say such a thing, noting that his respect must be truly earned. With that, he clasped hands with Jelly Roll as a gesture of mutual admiration.

Jelly Roll described the experience as deeply meaningful, comparing it to the biggest moments of his life. He said stepping into the ring ranked up there with marrying his wife and witnessing the birth of his child. He called the moment spiritual and compared it to his debut at the Grand Ole Opry. Even while acknowledging the pain and soreness that followed the match, he spoke with gratitude and fulfillment, joking that it was funny to take a beating and still feel good about it.

Reflecting on what he learned through the experience, Jelly Roll explained how personal the journey was. He recalled being a lifelong wrestling fan, someone who once sat in the upper sections of arenas watching wrestling shows. He said the moment was a realization of a dream and described himself as feeling like a 12-year-old kid again, overwhelmed with emotion and joy.

Triple H expanded on what earning respect in WWE truly means. He said it was not just about performing in front of a crowd of 58,000 people, but about all the unseen work that leads to that moment. He mentioned Jelly Roll’s dramatic weight loss, the hours spent training in the gym, his decision to move to Orlando to train at the WWE Performance Center, and even how he broke his finger on the first day of training but kept going. According to Triple H, Jelly Roll was the type of person who, after a long training session, would stay behind to help sweep out the ring. That level of humility and dedication, he said, is what earns lasting respect within WWE.

When asked about the possibility of Jelly Roll returning for another WWE match, Triple H revealed that the conversation had already started. Jelly Roll has expressed a desire to return and settle the score with Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre. Triple H indicated that when the time is right, discussions will continue, and hinted there could be more in the future for the musician-turned-wrestler.
