Jelly Roll Wins First Singles Match on SmackDown Over Kit Wilson

The result points to a possible WrestleMania tag that remains unconfirmed.

Overview

  • Jelly Roll, who returned to the ring Friday on SmackDown in Pittsburgh, beat Kit Wilson in his first singles bout.
  • The booking followed a March 13 Miz TV clash and a slam-poetry segment where a dig at Wilson's mother triggered an on-air attack.
  • Before the show, Wilson called it the biggest match of his career and said he would not overlook Jelly Roll's passion for wrestling.
  • Reports suggest the rivalry could shift to WrestleMania 42 in a tag match with The Miz, and while some outlets named Royce Keys as Jelly Roll's partner and others pushed back, WWE has announced nothing.
  • Jelly Roll has wrestled only once before in a tag with Randy Orton at SummerSlam, where he took a table splash and asked to take the loss, reflecting WWE's recent use of celebrity crossovers to spotlight rising talent like Wilson.
