Jelly Roll Praises Hank, Tank, And Stacks For Helping Him So Much During His Training

Jelly Roll was training with NXT champions at the WWE Performance Center while getting ready to compete at WWE SummerSlam.

Jelly Roll wrestled at WWE SummerSlam. He teamed with Randy Orton in a losing effort against Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre. The country singer has a great deal of love for WWE, and that passion shone through in the amount of time he spent training for the match at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.

Speaking with Cody Rhodes on the “What Do You Wanna Talk About?” podcast, Jelly Roll revealed that he spent time training with the WWE NXT Tag Team Champions Hank Walker and Tank Ledger. Also, he praised NXT Heritage Cup Champion Stacks for helping him prepare as well.

“Momma Mel, that’s what I call her, the lady that runs [the Performance Center]. She gives me all my ring time and deals with me being completely nuts. ‘I want to do 11 to 1 tomorrow,’ and I hit her up and am like, ‘Actually, I want to do 4 to 6 or 7, too,’ and everyone leaves at five. She’ll always find people to stay for me. Matt Bloom has dedicated his life to me. I love you, Coach Bloom. Scott Moss. Coach (Robbie) Brookside. He’s so awesome. A couple of NXT kids who I want to shout out who really deserve it.

“The tag team champs Hank and Tank. I can’t wait until they get called up. I’m cheering for them to get called up. The minute they get called up, I’m gonna cancel the show to show up. They’ve been that good to me. Even better is a kid named Mitch, they call him Stacks [Channing Lorenzo]. These dudes have shown up for me every day and took tens, dozens of bumps every day while I’m learning. Poor Stacks. Our first four or five bodyslams, you would hear three different thuds. You’d hear his feet, his back, and his head or shoulders. He’d just stand back up, and he was so nice. They’re like, ‘What we’re looking for is one flat thud.’ I’d throw him over again. One time, I damn near flipped the poor kid. We got it. They’ve been really sweet to me. Myles Bourne. Shawn (Michaels) has poured love into me. KO [Kevin Owens] has poured a lot of love into me. Damian Priest has showed up for me big. (Jacob) Fatu.”
