Jelly Roll Says He Asked Paul Heyman To Critique His Promos

Jelly Roll sought advice from Paul Heyman about his promo work.

In the lead up to WWE SummerSlam last weekend, Jelly Roll would begin to show up on television, and built towards his tag team bout at the Premium Live Event. While it was discussed at length in the leadup how seriously Jelly Roll was taking his in ring training, he has now spoke about his promo work and who helped him out.

While appearing on the latest episode of What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes, Jelly Roll spoke about his promo work, noting that he would ask Paul Heyman for advice.

“Every person I’ve asked to help me was just like, ‘All it took was asking.’ The first time I grabbed Paul Heyman, ‘Yo Wiseman. Lifelong fan of you. I’m fixing to shoot my first promo out here. I want you to pick it apart.’ I come in, ‘Ten out of ten, ten out of ten. You want me to be nitpicky?’ I was like, ‘Mr. Heyman, I’ve been praying to have a moment with you like this.’ He picked down my promo to the point where I learned so much for him that time, I learned my lesson, I’m not going to let him criticize me after. I’m gonna go in (before) and be like, ‘This is what I’m thinking and cooking. Talk to me about it.’”

At WWE SummerSlam, Jelly Roll would lose the match for he and Randy Orton against Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul.

Elsewhere in the same podcast, Cody Rhodes had heavy praise for Jacob Fatu. You can read more about that here.
