In an unforgettable moment that had both wrestling and late-night TV fans on their feet, country-rap sensation and rising WWE star Jelly Roll sent Logan Paul crashing through a desk during a live taping of Jimmy Kimmel Live!
The showdown wasn’t just entertainment—it was a declaration: Jelly Roll isn’t here to play nice.
The viral moment unfolded while Jelly Roll, whose real name is Jason DeFord, was guest-hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live! as part of Kimmel’s annual summer break.

What began as a casual and comedic late-night appearance quickly turned chaotic as tensions between rival wrestling factions spilled over onto the set.

Jelly Roll was in the middle of interviewing his upcoming tag team partner, WWE legend Randy Orton, ahead of their much-anticipated bout at SummerSlam in New Jersey.
The two are set to take on YouTuber-turned-WWE heel Logan Paul and Scottish powerhouse Drew McIntyre.
But McIntyre clearly didn’t feel like waiting until MetLife Stadium to throw down—he stormed the set mid-interview and exchanged heated words with both Orton and Jelly Roll.
The verbal barbs escalated into an all-out brawl, eventually pushing backstage.
Just when it seemed like things might calm down and the show cut to commercial, Logan Paul made his entrance—and poured gasoline on the fire.
Marching onto the set, Paul unleashed a stream of insults aimed at Jelly Roll, calling him a “greasy, redneck prison rat.”
The words barely left his mouth before Jelly Roll—fueled by equal parts adrenaline and WWE training—responded in the most unexpected and jaw-dropping way possible.
Channeling his inner Undertaker, the 40-year-old music star hoisted Paul into the air and slammed him through Kimmel’s desk with a thunderous chokeslam.
The studio crowd erupted. The moment quickly exploded across social media, with fans praising Jelly Roll’s authenticity, his growing presence in the WWE universe, and his no-nonsense attitude.
“If it’s a sign of what’s to come between the two sides,” one viewer commented online, “wrestling fans are in for a treat when the bell rings next weekend.”
While Jelly Roll is best known for his chart-topping hits and genre-blending sound, he’s making it clear that he’s taking his wrestling debut seriously.
Appearing on The Pat McAfee Show recently, he revealed he’s been training at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando for nearly a month.
“I’m there for the moment they wake up till it closes almost,” he said. “I’m obsessed.”
That level of dedication is turning heads within the wrestling community.
Jelly Roll has temporarily relocated to Florida to fully immerse himself in the training grind, proving that he’s not simply a celebrity cameo—he’s earning his place in the ring.
He also isn’t the first music icon to step into the squared circle.
Fellow crossover star Bad Bunny memorably brought the house down in 2023 when he defeated Damian Priest in a fan-favorite match. If Jelly Roll is taking notes, he’s studying from the best.
Of course, there’s still the matter of Kimmel’s destroyed desk.
While no official comment has been released from the late-night host, there’s still plenty of time to find a replacement before his return. And given the ratings boost and buzz the incident generated, it’s a safe bet that even Kimmel wouldn’t be too upset.
With SummerSlam just around the corner, the clash between Jelly Roll and Logan Paul is now one of the most anticipated matches of the event. Fueled by personal insults, late-night chaos, and a broken desk, this isn’t just wrestling—it’s war.
And if Logan Paul thought Jelly Roll would roll over quietly, he now knows: never underestimate a redneck with a mic in one hand and a chokeslam in the other.
