Jelly Roll will serve as the guest host on the episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live airing on July 16, 2024, featuring Randy Orton as a special guest. This collaboration comes ahead of their upcoming match at WWE SummerSlam, scheduled for August 2 and 3 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
The announcement was made during Monday night’s episode of WWE Raw, where Jelly Roll has recently been involved in a storyline that intertwines with Orton, Logan Paul, and Drew McIntyre. The music star made an appearance on WWE SmackDown last Friday, which set the stage for his involvement in the ongoing narrative. During that episode, Orton intervened as Paul confronted Jelly Roll, leading to an alliance between McIntyre and Paul that resulted in an attack on Orton.
In addition to their recent interactions, both Paul and Jelly Roll participated in this past weekend’s Saturday Night’s Main Event, which showcased a singles match between Orton and McIntyre. Following this event, a tag team match was confirmed for SummerSlam, featuring Orton and Jelly Roll against Paul and McIntyre.
Fans can catch Jimmy Kimmel Live weeknights at 23:35 Eastern Time on ABC, where Jelly Roll’s hosting promises to bring an exciting blend of music and wrestling entertainment. This event not only highlights the crossover appeal of professional wrestling and popular music but also serves as a precursor to the highly anticipated SummerSlam event. The integration of these diverse talents reflects WWE’s ongoing efforts to engage a broader audience, merging sports and entertainment in dynamic ways.
