At WWE SummerSlam on Saturday, August 2nd, Jelly Roll teamed up with Randy Orton but ultimately lost to Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul. Following the event, reports emerged suggesting that Jelly Roll and Orton were originally planned to win the match. However, Jelly Roll convinced WWE Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque to allow them to lose, considering his status as a celebrity.
According to Dave Meltzer on the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, there was virtually no chance that Triple H would have considered having Logan Paul lose, especially since Paul is scheduled to face John Cena at WWE Clash in Paris. Meltzer also mentioned that Jelly Roll may have mistakenly believed that he and Orton were originally set to win, and it was his idea to volunteer to lose—a tactic that Vince McMahon has employed in the past.
