Jelly Roll adds pickleball to training for upcoming WWE SummerSlam appearance
It appears that Jelly Roll has added pickleball to his training regimen in preparation for his official WWE debut at SummerSlam later this week.
The renowned rapper, singer, and songwriter recently hit the court at The Picklr Orlando North to get his sweat on and burn some calories in the process.
The 40-year-old has been very open about his weight loss journey in recent months.
After reaching 540 pounds, he realized that significant lifestyle changes were necessary.
And he has lost over 200 pounds to date.

"I wanna be on the cover of Men's Health by March of 2026," said Jelly Roll on an episode of his wife Bunnie XO's Dumb Blonde podcast last December. "That's my new goal. I want to have one of the biggest transformations."
So far, so good.
And there's no denying that pickleball can make a world of difference in this department.
"I got fat, like, really, really young," explained Jelly Roll on a recent episode of the What’s Your Story? with Stephanie McMahon podcast. "I was over 300 pounds coming out of middle school. I’m gonna be under 300 pounds for the first time since middle school the night I walk to that ring at SummerSlam... My goal is for the first time since middle school I will be under 300 pounds. For the first time since I was — we’re talking about literally now 30 years."
SummerSlam will be held on Saturday and Sunday at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ.
Jelly Roll is joining forces with Randy Orton for a match against Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre.
Fortunately, he already has some wrestling experience under his belt.
He actually went toe-to-toe with Paul earlier this month on SmackDown, which set the stage for the upcoming showdown in the ring.
