Jelly Roll Delivers Chokeslam, Pays Tribute to John Cena in Epic WWE Summerslam Beatdown

Releasing his ninth studio album, Whitsitt Chapel, last year, Jelly Roll continues to watch his stardom expand. It appears with each new show, the country singer takes a moment to connect with the crowd or show just how much he cares about his fans. Besides winning numerous awards, Jelly Roll also helps those in need. But recently, the country star appeared on WWE’s SummerSlam to do more than sing the national anthem. Wanting to showcase his wrestling moves, Jelly Roll decided to get into the ring with a special tribute to WWE legend John Cena. 

Having been part of the WWE for numerous years, Cena announced he would be retiring soon. With fans saddened over the news, it seems that Jelly Roll is also a huge fan of the wrestler. While Awesome Truth went to the ring to announce the main event, A-Town Down Under interrupted his speech. As the wrestlers went back and forth, Jelly Roll decided he had heard enough when she took down the A-Town members with a chair. And that wasn’t all as he chokeslammed Theory. 

With the crowd erupting with cheers, Jelly Roll continued his assault on Theory when Miz and R-Truth joined him for the five-star knuckle shuffle. The move was popularized by Cena during his time in the ring. Leading into the final match of the night, the country singer was sure to leave his mark on the wrestling industry.

Not All Chokeslams For Jelly Roll

But outside of the WWE ring, Jelly Roll recently showcased his big heart when he noticed a fan who was a cancer survivor. Performing at the Tailgate N’ Tallboys music festival, the singer paused his show when he noticed something interesting. He told his crew, “There’s a young lady right here in the front row. This young lady is out here with a full blown IV. You’re a cancer survivor.”

After sharing a sweet moment, the country star made sure she had the best seat in the house. “Let’s get her a chair somewhere. Let’s get her somewhere comfortable to watch the rest of the show. We’ll get you off your feet baby. Okay, you hear me?”

While continuing to expand his career, Jelly Roll never forgot where he came from or the importance of helping others.
