Jelly Roll to Provide Theme Songs for WWE SummerSlam, Says Triple H
WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque announced on July 16 that chart-topping country artist Jelly Roll will provide the official theme songs for this year’s SummerSlam event.
The prestigious annual wrestling spectacle, scheduled for Aug. 3 in Cleveland, will showcase two of Jelly Roll’s tracks: “Dead End Road” from his album Twisters and his recent hit “Liar.”
Levesque’s social media announcement included a telling hint at a possible live performance. “Excited to have my friend Jelly Roll back with two official #SummerSlam theme songs: ‘Dead End Road’ off Twisters: The Album, and ‘Liar’ off his album coming this fall.”
This isn’t Jelly Roll’s first interaction with WWE.
The Nashville native has made several surprise appearances at WWE events in his hometown, most memorably in November 2023, during which he got involved in a match between wrestlers Randy Orton and Dominik Mysterio by pushing Mysterio and JD McDonagh after they confronted him outside the ring.
“I just felt like I was backing my boy,” Jelly Roll said at the time.
It’s the latest addition to Jelly Roll’s ever-growing list of achievements, with the country superstar recently collaborating with Eminem on “Somebody Save Me,” which served as the closer on the rapper’s latest album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce).
Reflecting on working with the Rap God, Jelly Roll shared, “I always say my childhood heroes lived somewhere between Willie Nelson and Eminem.”
“As a teenager (and still today) I could recite every song on the Slim Shady album, the Marshall Mathers album and The Eminem Show. When I bonded out of jail at 17 years old and was sneaking into cyphers and battles in Nashville they would also play the ‘Lose Yourself’ beat when I came out on stage at the freestyle battles.”
“I related to every word Eminem wrote. I understand him and felt like he understood me, which was rare cause I spent most of my life feeling misunderstood.”
