The Grand Ole Opry is known as country musicâ€s biggest stage, with Jelly Roll having previously played at the Nashville venue. However, a membership is only given to countryâ€s biggest stars, with legends like Dolly Parton, Garth Brooks, and Carrie Underwood being among the big names to receive membership.

After the reveal, Jelly Roll broke down in tears, requesting a hug from Rogan before explaining how much the membership meant to him. The date of Jelly Rollâ€s induction isnâ€t officially known at the time of this writing.

Jelly Roll was a big part of WWE programming in 2025, with the singer participating in a memorable match during SummerSlam, and last appearing as a spectator for the companyâ€s Clash in Paris event. The country singer described how WWE contributed to his weight loss, after Triple H told him that he could have a match with the company if he shed the pounds.

“Iâ€m like, Triple H, I got to do this. I got to take a match, bro,†Jelly Roll explained. “I was like, Iâ€m going to go lose 100 pounds and come back and take a match.â€

According to the singer, Triple H replied that if he lost the weight, he would have a “home†with the WWE. Since then, he has made several appearances at WWE events, after dropping his weight from over 500lbs to under 300lbs in order to have a match.
