Jelly performed at SummerSlam 2024, and delivered a chokeslam to Austin Theory.
Speaking to Pat McAfee on the Pat McAfee Show, Jelly gave more insight into his training.
“When me and Hunter [Triple H] started talking, the more I got involved with WWE over the last couple of years, every time I lose weight, they’re like, ‘Looking good. ‘Good enough for a match yet or do I need to lose another hundred?’ ‘A little more, brother.’ [Laughs]. I just kept pushing for it. I have been training. I have quietly been living in Orlando for three or four weeks at the PC [WWE Performance Center], showing up every day like a piece of furniture. They can’t keep me out of there. I’m there from the moment I wake up until it closes. I’m obsessed.
“Matt Bloom is my coach. I was training with Matt Bloom the other day, and Undertaker comes in with Michelle (McCool). ‘They just want to watch for a minute, is that cool?’ ‘For sure.’ This is who he is as a human. The entire three-hour session, him and his wife stood on those ropes and gave me pointer after pointer in the most….Kevin Owens, Jacob Fatu came in and wrestled with me the other day for three-four hours. These dudes are like pouring into me because they see that I’m trying to take it as serious as I can.
“When Randy jumped on the idea, dawg. When The Viper wanted to be my guy, I’m like, ‘This is awesome.’ Drew and Logan, I can’t thank them enough.”
