Jelly Roll Suggests He and Pat McAfee Step Back From WWE After WrestleMania 42

Jelly Roll reflected on the mixed reaction to his and Pat McAfee’s involvement in the Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton program at WrestleMania 42 in a new vlog, saying both should return to their respective industries. Filmed backstage at Allegiant Stadium, he told McAfee “neither one of us had any business here,” and joked he’ll keep “searching for what I’m going to do when I grow up.” The clip shows him greeting Damian Priest and Trick Williams at SmackDown, watching WrestleMania from a luxury box with his son and friends, meeting Rick Rubin and John Cena, and features the elbow-through-the-announcers’-table moment he later quipped about framing.

What once looked like a potential Jelly Roll/Cody Rhodes vs. Pat McAfee/Randy Orton tag match now appears unlikely after McAfee kept his pre‑Mania promise to leave WWE if Orton lost. With McAfee reportedly gone and Jelly Roll signaling a step back from the spotlight, any future plans for the crossover angle remain uncertain.
