Jelly Roll sends Logan Paul through table in dramatic Jimmy Kimmel Live brawl
The 40-year-old singer - who is set to make his WWE wrestling debut in a tag team match at SummerSlam in August - was a special guest host for the late night talk show on Wednesday (16.07.25) with his tag partner Randy Orton also on the programme.
Drew McIntyre, one of their opponents at the upcoming event over August 2 and 3, interrupted the interview, sparking a brawl between the two wrestlers which spilled backstage.
Jelly attempted to bring things back on track, only for Logan Paul - Drew's tag partner for the match - to come out on stage and slap the host.
The Save Me hitmaker ended up hitting the Chokeslam move made famous by the likes of The Undertaker, sending the controversial YouTuber through the desk.
The exchange was part of the storyline building to the blockbuster SummerSlam match.
Jelly has been working hard before his first ever wrestling match next month, losing almost 300lbs over the last couple of years after previously weighing over 500lbs.
Speaking on The Pat McAfee Show this week, he said: "When me and Hunter [Triple H] started talking, the more I got involved with WWE over the last couple of years, every time I lose weight, they're like, 'Looking good'.
"'Good enough for a match yet or do I need to lose another hundred?' 'A little more, brother.' [Laughs]. I just kept pushing for it.
"I have been training. I have quietly been living in Orlando for three or four weeks at the PC [WWE Performance Center], showing up every day like a piece of furniture.
"They can't keep me out of there. I'm there from the moment I wake up until it closes. I'm obsessed."
Jelly explained that he's been working with retired WWE wrestler turned coach Matt Bloom, while some big names have been on hand to help.
He added: 'I was training with Matt Bloom the other day, and Undertaker comes in with Michelle [McCool]. 'They just want to watch for a minute, is that cool?' 'For sure.'
"This is who he is as a human. The entire three-hour session, him and his wife stood on those ropes and gave me pointer after pointer.
"Kevin Owens, Jacob Fatu came in and wrestled with me the other day for three-four hours."
He claimed the reason the WWE superstars and legends are so willing to help him is his clear passion and drive to make it work.
He said: "These dudes are like pouring into me because they see that I'm trying to take it as serious as I can."

‘In pieces': Hulk Hogan's wife shares heartbreaking post after wrestling legend's death
The heartbroken wife of the late Hulk Hogan has spoken out following the wrestling legend's shocking death at the age of 71. Sky Daily, who married Hogan in 2023, said her 'heart is in pieces' in a gut-wrenching Instagram post. 'I wasn't ready for this … and my heart is in pieces,' she began. 'He had been dealing with some health issues, but I truly believed we would overcome them. I had so much faith in his strength. I thought we still had more time.' Hogan was pronounced dead shortly after 11am Thursday morning (US time). Medics were dispatched to the WWE Hall of Famer's Clearwater, Florida home before 10am following a 'cardiac arrest' call. Speculation about Hogan's health had percolated in the weeks leading up to his passing. In June, Bubba the Love Sponge, the host of a titular Tampa-based radio program, reported Hogan wasn't doing well. 'Allegedly Hogan is in the hospital and I've heard people say that he might not make it,' he claimed. A rep for Hogan addressed the allegations, telling TMZ in June that 'he's just dealing with more of the same ailments he's had for years.' Daily, who married Hogan in 2023, also hit back at rumours her husband was in poor health. 'No, he's definitely not in a coma! His heart is strong, and there was never any lack of oxygen or brain damage … none of those rumours are true,' Sky wrote,' she wrote in an Instagram Story earlier this month. ' … We've been in and out of the hospital to support that recovery. So truly, there's no need for the drama or panic some people try to stir up. He's healing, and we're taking it one day at a time with love, strength, and patience.' Daily added Friday that Hogan, 'despite growing physical discomfort,' wanted to always 'show up' for his loyal supporters. 'Hulk loved his fans so much and despite his growing physical discomfort, he did everything he could to show up, sign autographs, take photos, and connect with the people who supported him through it all. You meant everything to him,' she wrote on Instagram. 'He was a believer in Christ, and I take comfort knowing his soul is at peace and he's been welcomed home. 'Please keep his family and all of us who loved him in your prayers as we try to navigate this new reality.' Hogan, whose real name was Terry Bollea, married three times. Prior to his union with Daily, Hogan wed his first wife, Linda, in 1983. The couple, who shared daughter Brooke, 37, and son Nick, 34, finalised their divorce in 2009. Hogan later moved on with Jennifer McDaniel in 2010. They divorced in 2022. He and Daily were baptised together 18 months before Hogan's death.

'I wasn't ready for this': Hulk Hogan's devastated wife pays tribute to late star
Hulk Hogan was dealing with 'health issues' before his death. The 71-year-old wrestling icon, born Terry Bollea, passed away in Florida on Thursday (24.07.25) after paramedics were called to his home and his wife Sky Daily has admitted that despite his health problems, she 'wasn't ready for this'. In an emotional Instagram tribute, Sky wrote: 'I wasn't ready for this… and my heart is in pieces. 'He had been dealing with some health issues, but I truly believed we would overcome them. I had so much faith in his strength. I thought we still had more time. 'This loss is sudden and impossible to process. To the world, he was a legend… but to me, he was my Terry. The man I loved. My partner. My heart. 'Hulk loved his fans so much and despite his growing physical discomfort, he did everything he could to show up, sign autographs, take photos, and connect with the people who supported him through it all. You meant everything to him. 'He was a believer in Christ, and I take comfort knowing his soul is at peace and he's been welcomed home. 'Please keep his family and all of us who loved him in your prayers as we try to navigate this new reality.' Daily, 45, and Hogan were first romantically linked in February 2022 before he later confirmed their relationship. Hogan announced their engagement in July 2023, and they tied the knot two months later in Florida. During a press conference on Thursday, Major Nate Burnside of the Clearwater Police Department gave more details about the emergency call, saying: "Just before 10 AM, Clearwater Police Department responded to a house in the 1000 block of El Dorado Avenue for a medical related call. "It was discovered at that time that Terry Bollea, also known as Hulk Hogan, was experiencing a serious medical related issue. Personnel provided medical treatment at that time and transported Mr. Bollea to Morton Plant Hospital, where he died at 11:17 AM." Hogan's death was confirmed in a statement released by WWE. Hogan had been in and out of hospital in the months before his death. In June, he underwent a four-level Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion – a complex neck surgery. Sky told fans on Instagram at the time he was recovering from the 'intense surgery with a long and layered healing process'. She said the operation had also affected his vocal cords and required breathing and feeding tubes. Sky added: 'He's healing and we're taking it one day at a time with love, strength, and patience."

The end of Hulkamania: Inside the rise and fall of a wrestling superstar
Well let me tell you something, brother. You might have been a kid the day Hulk Hogan dethroned the Iron Sheik, the day he headlined Wrestlemania I alongside Mr. T or the day he body slammed Andre The Giant. Or maybe you were a kid left in disbelief the night Hogan turned his back on WCW to join Scott Hall and Kevin Nash in the New World Order and change the face of professional wrestling. Before long he was teaming with NBA star Dennis Rodman and turning wrestling into an edgier, mainstream product. Or maybe you were a kid jumping off your seat - just like Adam Sandler inside the Staples Center - the moment you heard the opening chords of Rick Derringer's Real American to save the day during Wrestlemania 21. The era you grew up in doesn't matter. Because it was so often Hogan's face on the VHS and DVD covers when you walked into Video Ezy. Because "Hulkamania" was a phenomenon, running wild with a blonde handlebar moustache and arms he called 24-inch pythons, ripping off his singlet and reaching unprecedented levels of superstardom around the globe long before the dawn of pay television. The professional wrestling industry is in mourning after Hogan - the heroic all-American wearing red and yellow - died aged 71 following a cardiac arrest. Ask anyone for professional wrestling's Mount Rushmore and they'd be hard-pressed to leave Hogan, whose real name was Terry Bollea, off the list. "WWE would not be where it is today without the larger-than-life characters that compete in the ring ... and few, if any, loomed larger than Terry 'Hulk Hogan' Bollea," WWE chief content officer Paul Levesque - better known as Triple H - wrote on social media. "He was the archetype of what it meant to be a 'Superstar' - a global sensation that inspired millions to work hard at whatever it was they wanted to accomplish and a look that made him recognisable to fans around the world. "Hulk Hogan, clad in red and yellow or nWo black and white, was simply put, iconic. As a Real American or the leader of one of the industry's biggest factions, he transcended and elevated the entire business to heights never before seen - in every country and on every continent. "There was no one like The Hulkster, and there very well may never be another." Inside the squared circle, he was must-watch television during feuds with Randy Savage and The Rock. He hosted Saturday Night Live with Mr. T and featured in Rocky III alongside Sylvester Stallone. Even the Sydney Roosters handed him a custom jersey with "Roostermania" printed across the front during a promotional opportunity in 2009. Yet on the outside, Hogan was one of the industry's most complex and controversial characters. For years, Hogan stared down the barrel of a camera and told kids to eat their vitamins and say their prayers, but he was at the centre of a steroid scandal that rocked professional wrestling in the early 1990s. WWE cut ties with Hogan in 2015 - and even removed him from its Hall of Fame before he was readmitted in 2018 - after he was recorded using a series of offensive slurs during a rant about his daughter dating black men. In 2016, Hogan was awarded $174 million - before adding $37 million in punitive damages - in a sex tape lawsuit against Gawker Media. In 2012, Gawker had posted a video of Hogan having sex with his former best friend's wife. Hogan had even emerged as a political figure during Donald Trump's run for United States president last year, declaring it was time to "let Trumpamania run wild, brother" during a Republican national convention. "We lost a great friend today, the 'Hulkster.' Hulk Hogan was MAGA all the way - Strong, tough, smart, but with the biggest heart," Trump wrote on social media platform Truth Social. "He gave an absolutely electric speech at the Republican National Convention, that was one of the highlights of the entire week. He entertained fans from all over the World, and the cultural impact he had was massive. To his wife, Sky, and family, we give our warmest best wishes and love. Hulk Hogan will be greatly missed!" His final appearance on WWE television - during the company's Netflix debut in January - ended with Hogan being booed by a Los Angeles crowd. Yet those who grew up with Hulkamania running wild, with the NWO and the Monday Night War, will likely reserve a place on wrestling's Mount Rushmore for Hogan's face. And maybe even leave some room for those 24-inch pythons. Well let me tell you something, brother.
