Fightful Select has published a new report regarding Odyssey Jones.
The new report notes Jones was not backstage at Monday’s WWE Raw at the Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado. It is also said that Jones was not factored into plans for Raw and that he was not in “immediate creative plans.” Jones was also not at last week’s Raw either. There were no further details provided by Fightful Select.
Fightful Select further notes talent have not heard from WWE about what is going on with Jones and at that WWE still has not responded the publication as it pertains to Jones.
In a report from F4WOnline, Dave Meltzer stated on the recent edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, that he asked around and if there had been any kind of glitch or something on WWE’s website and that if it was, it would have already been corrected by now.
Meltzer further notes he “has heard a bunch of stories”, but nothing that he would say that it is confirmed, but that it looks like Jones is no longer with WWE.
Meltzer said the following during the show:
“His angle is done, no mention on the show, no clips of if he was injured or something, no acknowledgment of him at all. Kofi Kingston was on and there was no acknowledgement of what they’d been doing. So, he’s off, he’s gone. As far as the reasons why, I think that will probably come out or whatever it is. He was in for a push. It had nothing to do with how he was getting over because he was doing real well but there is obviously a story that is probably going to come out in the next day or so, I would guess, I don’t know. There’s certainly a lot of rumors around, I’ll say that, but there’s nothing that I can confirm at this point in time.”
We reported on Monday that Jones had been removed from the roster page on WWE’s website.
Jones (real name Omari Palmer) was an offensive guard with the University of Syracuse’s football team until he graduated in 2016. The 30-year old Palmer signed with WWE in 2019 after taking part in a tryout in 2018. He was drafted from NXT to Raw during the 2024 WWE Draft.
