JellyRoll appeared at WrestleMania during the main event match, which irked the WWE fanbase.

On April 18, WrestleMania 42 was held at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, and streamed live on Netflix. WWE wrestlers Codi Rhodes and Randy Orton competed against each other at the main event match. Before the bell rang, sports analyst Pat McAfee, 38, landed his own hits against Rhodes before the wrestler fought back. Rhodes then planted McAfee atop the commentator’s table before Jelly Roll, 41, appeared on-screen.

The Nashville rapper wanted to be the one to deliver the elbow drop on McAfee. This comes as WWE chief Nick Khan shared his stance on WrestleMania in Saudi Arabia after Iran’s devastating attacks.

The musician made the jump and landed on top of the sports analyst. The two crushed the table before collapsing onto the ground. McAfee was then escorted out of the stadium on a stretcher.

At the top of his lungs, Jelly Roll screamed at the camera, “If it’s a fight they want, it’s a fight they gonna see!” repeatedly.

However, viewers took to social media to slam the artist’s appearance at WrestleMania, arguing he was a celebrity, not a wrestler. One viewer said, “Jelly Roll got time for WWE, but we still never got that statement he planned on giving at the Grammys.”

Another person added, “And we thought Travis Scott was bad. They managed to get worse.” A third wrote, “Jelly Roll needs to take his MAGA Trump-loving a$$ out of the WWE. Don’t like the Pat Macaffee heel angle, but Jelly Roll is a nothing country singer.”

A fourth fumed, “This company is in shambles with nights like this. Worst celebrity appearance in WWE history.” Despite the criticism, the star still had a supporter who loved the moment and shared, “That was insane! The table got absolutely destroyed! Jelly Roll really went all in! The crowd must’ve lost it!”

Rhodes ended up winning the match before Orton turned heel and stole the title belt from him. Jelly Roll had been appearing on Smackdown, and even took an RKO from Orton, which led to his appearance at WrestleMania.

Wrestlemania kicked off with the booming music of the retired wrestler, John Cena, 48. As the music played, he walked up to the ring and picked up the microphone to speak with the audience. He wore a bright blue suit with a striped yellow tie during his entrance, a departure from his usual jean shorts.

The host said, “Wow! I didn’t expect that! Thank you so much! ” before choking up. “Sorry, long-time fan, first-time host. How am I doing so far? It’s undeniable that this year’s road to WrestleMania has been chaos. It has been unpredictable. And from every side, from in her and hell even from back there, there and out here, it has been very, very vocal.”

“One could say, Michael Cole, it’s polarizing. Polarizing. Now I can see why I got the hosting gig. This is the moment I love the most. Especially on the road to WrestleMania. We’re all in here for the same reason because we know the time to talk is up. The time to deliver is now!,” Cena closed before the first match started.
