Jelly Roll vs. Kit Wilson Set for SmackDown in Pittsburgh

WWE is using the matchup to gauge Jelly Roll’s progress.

Overview

  • SmackDown will air the singles bout in Pittsburgh on Friday, marking only the second match of Jelly Roll’s career after a 2025 SummerSlam tag with Randy Orton.
  • Kit Wilson called it the biggest match of his career in an interview, pointing to Jelly Roll’s star power and saying the singer’s passion makes him a real threat.
  • Wilson’s current persona centers on rooting out what he calls toxicity, and he has cast Jelly Roll as an example of toxic masculinity to frame the feud.
  • Bleacher Report notes the match could hint at WrestleMania 42 plans, though no bookings or title shots are announced and any such outcomes remain speculative.
  • TMZ reports the rivalry heated up in a recent on-air poetry slam that turned into a scuffle, and Wilson said he refuses to overlook Jelly Roll.
