Jacob Fatu Speaks On His Experience Training With Jelly Roll Ahead Of SummerSlam 2025

Jacob Fatu speaks on his experience training with Jelly Roll.

When Jelly Roll made his WWE debut at SummerSlam 2025, he trained with Fatu and other wrestlers. He teamed up with Randy Orton to take on Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul.

Speaking on Bootleg Kev, Jacob Fatu recalled doing training sessions with Jelly Roll.

“You see cats come in all the time and just get it in. You’ve seen the transformation in him. But it was more than that. It was when I got out the ring with this guy from training and it wasn’t just me. Shout out to Stacks (Channing Lorenzo)and shout out to the other homie. 

But it was what he did after [that made me] like, ‘Damn, bro.’ I already knew. I knew the background he came from but it’s the shit that he did afterwards. When you get done training, you got to clean the ring, sweep it, spray it down. We were all sweaty up in there. I saw this man. He up to the homie and said, ‘No, no. Let me clean it.’ He’s like, ‘No, no, I got it, sir.’ He said, ‘Nah, bro. Give it. Tell me what I got to do.’ He’s not making a scene about it. I’m tucked off with the other homies. We were chopping it up. But I’m watching. [He] just cleaned the whole ring, did what he had to do, wiped his feet. But I also saw the love and the passion.

I spoke about this earlier… Professional wrestling, that’s what I love about this. Not only because my family’s in it. Not only because we are one of the dopest families up in it. What I love about it is professional wrestling brings different colors, different cultures, different backgrounds all together.”

Jelly Roll is currently scheduled to face Kit Wilson on the 3/27 episode of WWE SmackDown. Fans can read more about his segment with Kit last week by clicking here.
