Randy Orton is now a fan of Jelly Roll.
CMT Music Award winner and Grammy nominee Jelly Roll appeared on the November 27 episode of WWE Raw. He first popped up backstage, where he met R-Truth. Later in the show, Jelly Roll was in the crowd for Randy Orton's match against Dominik Mysterio. JD McDonagh confronted him, and Jelly Roll shoved both McDonagh and Mysterio. Orton capitalized and pinned Dominik after he hit him with an RKO.
In a WWE Raw Exclusive, Jelly Roll discussed his eventful night.
“It was awesome because Randy Orton’s the reason I came here tonight. Randy Orton was returning, it was my hometown of Nashville, Tennessee. I said, ‘Whatever it takes, we gotta be at the building.’ I just feel like I was backing my boy," Jelly Roll said.
Jelly Roll was then asked whether he felt the energy of the crowd when he shoved McDonagh and Mysterio. He noted that he was still shaking, as the fans cheered for him. Jelly Roll stated that it was awesome.
“Dude, I’m still shaking. When I stood up and everybody cheered, I was like, ‘I’m doing the right thing. I’m not wrong here.’ I just went for it. It was awesome," Jelly Roll said.
When asked whether there was anyone he would potentially want to face, Jelly Roll teased his interest in battling Dominik Mysterio in a match, as he noted that they had some unfinished business.
“I hate to be this guy, but I feel like there’s a little unfinished business now. It makes me want to go lose a little weight and kick Dominik Mysterio’s ass," he said.
Randy Orton showed up and took over the interview, as he thanked Jelly Roll for helping him out. He admitted that he might have been in a predicament if Jelly Roll was not there.
"I am so glad you came. If you wouldn’t have come, I might have been in a little bit of a predicament out there. I’m a big fan. I was born in Knoxville, Tennessee, so I’m a native Tennessean. I just want to thank you very much for coming. I gotta tell you, when a celebrity from the outside comes in and shows me and the locker room respect, there’s nothing more important than that. For so long, there’s a lot of the world that looks down on what we do. But the fact that you told everybody you’re a big fan, you’re sitting front row, you’re a part of the show, dude, [clasps his hand], let’s go," Orton said.
Jelly Roll then noted that he was a big fan of Orton, and "The Viper" was the reason that he was there in the first place. Orton told Jelly Roll that he had made another fan of his own, as he would check out the CMT Music Award winner's music.
Jelly Roll: I love it. Thank you. God bless you, brother. I’m a huge fan. I was so excited to see you tonight.
Randy Orton: You just made another fan right here tonight. I’m gonna go download all your shit right now.
JR: Two Tennessee boys, man. Thank you, brother. Bless you brother. Congratulations on a great return.
