Because I want a new crop of people who might not watch WWE, but they might be fans of the celebrity. When they come in, I guarantee we will make them a fan because no one does what we do better than us.

And who makes the most noise? More than anybody? Pat McAfee and his big mouth. Sometimes he needs someone to shut it. I believe that person is going to be Cody Rhodes. Randy Orton, though, man. I\u2019ll tell you what, you\u2019re going to attach yourself to someone, Pat knows who to attach himself to. Randy Orton is a GOAT. He\u2019s the person who taught me in the ring how to be a top-tier talent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jelly Roll\u2019s participation in WrestleMania comes after he lost nearly 300 pounds and overcame struggles with food addiction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMan, I was on the brink of death. I\u2019m not trying to stand on a soapbox, I\u2019m just passionate about it, knowing how upside down our system is with food. And as an addict, it was hard for me to get away from it, so I did a lot of work with food,\u201d he told E! News in January. \u201cRunning\u2019s been my real healer. [I] wake up and run every day \u2014 I mean every day, seven days a week \u2014 even if it\u2019s a recovery run, it\u2019s one mile and it\u2019s a 15 minute jog, really slow.
