Bill Apter comments on Randy Orton's match at WWE SummerSlam

Legendary wrestling journalist Bill Apter recently shared his thoughts about Randy Orton teaming up with Jelly Roll to battle Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul at WWE SummerSlam 2025.

Speaking on Sportskeeada's The Wrestling Time Machine, Apter noted that Jelly Roll has been a fan of professional wrestling since he was a kid and predicted that the famous singer would have a positive impact on the show.

"Let me tell you something. Jelly Roll has been a fan since he was a little kid. If you watch, when you watch stuff from the show, you can see the way he punched Logan Paul, and he was very convincing. And he was very convincing when he was around the ring. They would not have teamed him up with Randy Orton if they hadn't looked at him in the Performance Center for a while now. He'll be ready, and he'll make a huge impact. He's an enormous country music Grammy Award [nominated] talent, and his fans are going to watch it show. And he'll promote it on social media." [8:50-9:53]

It will be interesting to see if the company has any surprises planned for SummerSlam next month.
