• Celebrity Wants To Have A 6 To 9 Month Full-Time Run In WWE
Country star Jelly Roll kicked off SummerSlam 2024 and helped Awesome Truth take out A-Town Down Under later in the show. He made his in-ring debut at SummerSlam 2025 and teamed up with Randy Orton to take on Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre.
During an interview on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet, the four-time Grammy-nominated artist said that he wants to return to the ring after suffering a loss in his first wrestling match and have a six to nine-month run as a pro wrestler.
“I wanna run it back; I wanna do one more; I know why Bad Bunny had to do Backlash now, because I know he walked out that ring that night knowing how much more he could give; I don’t really know what I want, I just know that I need to, and I promise y’all I’m not going to keep darkening y’all’s door.
But, one dream scenario is I want to get involved for a while. I’d like to wrestle every Friday. I’d like to get involved for a six to nine-month run.
I’ve definitely got to do one more, though, man. Just because… it’s like anything else in life. You do it once in life, and you think you were prepared, but you wasn’t. And, you leave there, and all I can think about is everything I know I could have done a little better.
I just started getting really comfortable bumping the week we went out. I’m so much more comfortable taking full-blown clotheslines now.”
Jelly Roll was also in attendance for Clash In Paris back in August.
• AEW Wrestlers Are Frustrated With How The Company Is Run, Claims WWE Hall Of Famer
AEW has faced its share of internal challenges since its launch six years ago. While many wrestlers have praised Tony Khan as a passionate and dedicated promoter, some were not happy with their time in the company.
WWE Hall of Famer D-Von Dudley recently spoke with VideoGamerCom and revealed that several wrestlers in the Jacksonville-based promotion are frustrated about how certain people within the company make key decisions instead of Tony Khan.
“There’s just certain things about the organization. I love the talent. I think the talent is great. There’s no question about that, but there’s a feeling that certain people in the organization that call the shots, I’m not a big fan of them. And Tony Khan lets that happen.
I’ve got nothing against AEW as a company. I’ve got nothing against Tony Khan. I just don’t like the way the organization is run. And that’s about it.
Again, I’ve got friends in AEW. I’ve met new people at autograph signings, like Will Ospreay, who is a great guy, and a lot of the talent in AEW have the same frustration that I see.
They just wish that certain people wouldn’t be calling the shots and that Tony would take more control, but yet give it to somebody that knows what they’re doing.”
• Raven Reveals Why He Stopped Watching Wrestling During The 2001 Invasion Storyline
During his conversation with The Ariel Helwani Show, Raven revealed that he stopped watching professional wrestling altogether during WWE’s 2001 Invasion storyline.
Raven explained that the storyline, which merged WCW and ECW talent under the WWF umbrella, was so poorly executed and creatively frustrating that it killed his passion for watching the product. Despite being part of the company at the time, he felt disenchanted by how WWE “wasted incredible talent” and failed to live up to the hype of what could have been wrestling’s biggest crossover event.
He admitted that while he continued to wrestle professionally, he no longer had the enthusiasm to tune in at home. “I loved doing it, but I didn’t want to watch it,” he said.
Raven added that he has always been a completist – someone who needs to follow every storyline fully – but with the overwhelming amount of weekly wrestling content, it became impossible to keep up. Over time, his interest faded completely.
He also mentioned that he briefly watched AEW when it launched in 2019, but it didn’t reignite his passion. These days, Raven spends more time watching MMA, saying he’s a “religious” follower of the sport and prefers its realism over the scripted world of wrestling.
