Summary

The Miz had plenty of praise for Jelly Roll while discussing the music used for the reboot of *American Gladiators*.

Speaking with Houston Life, The Miz said Jelly Roll's song has become an important part of the show's presentation. The crossover also adds to a stretch where Jelly Roll has stayed visible around WWE programming, including his involvement on the road to WrestleMania 42 and his on-screen interactions with The Miz.

That recent WWE connection was also reflected in Jelly Roll's advertised Miz TV appearance on SmackDown in March, which helped make him a familiar name to the same audience now hearing his music attached to *American Gladiators*.

Quote from The Miz

"Jelly Roll does a phenomenal job. Jelly Roll's all over the place, by the way. WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas, he's there. I mean, he's following me in all directions, and then we have him doing our song for American Gladiators, and Jelly Roll's just on top of his game right now. I think everyone loves hearing him sing, and if you've ever seen him live, let me tell you something. It is... Unbelievable. Not only is he entertaining, but the stories that he's able to tell in between the songs, unreal, unbelievable."

Jelly Roll's visibility helps The Miz's latest project

Jelly Roll's recent WWE exposure gives *American Gladiators* an easy bridge to wrestling fans who have already seen him alongside names like The Miz on television. That matters for a reboot, because familiar crossover figures can help a relaunch feel bigger right away.

For The Miz, it also keeps his non-wrestling hosting role tied to someone viewers already associate with a major WWE moment from earlier this year. It does not confirm anything beyond that, but it does show how closely Jelly Roll's presence has overlapped with WWE's orbit and The Miz's current projects.
