More News On Odyssey Jones
Added 2024-09-03 16:39:14 +0000 UTCOdyssey Jones was removed from the WWE roster page on Monday, leading to heavy speculation about his status.
Fightful was given a heads up on Sunday that Odyssey's "status" had changed with the company but weren't given clarification. It was confirmed to Fightful on Monday afternoon that Odyssey Jones wasn't at WWE Raw, and was not factored into creative plans for that evening. Beyond that, it was also noted to Fightful that Odyssey Jones was not at last week's Raw, and was not in "immediate creative plans," with no further context provided.
Last week, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods referenced Odyssey without mentioning him by name whatsoever.
Talent we've spoken with haven't heard from WWE about what is going on with Odyssey Jones. Fightful reached out to WWE in an official capacity and have not heard back.
For those asking, his removal from WWE's website is not a glitch.
UPDATE: Odyssey Jones was removed from WWE TV when domestic violence allegations came to WWE's attention, Fightful has learned.
We've not heard of an arrest or charges being pressed in relation to the situation. We've reached out to WWE for comment, as well as clarification on his status. Talent had not been informed of the situation.

2024-09-05 04:12:57 +0000 UTCMan this is crappy timing. If he’s guilty of something then boot him but he’s just getting on TV and a push and boom.

2024-09-03 21:25:18 +0000 UTCI wonder if another wrestler is involved in this. If there's no other report outside of WWE, it could be a workplace incident or at the very least, involving a co-worker. Whatever happened, I hope that the alleged victim(s) in this is ok. WWE can't mess around with anything remotely close to domestic violence for obvious reasons.

2024-09-03 18:47:53 +0000 UTCEnjoyed what he was doing with New Day but understandably with there is domestic abuse allegations coming out if your WWE or any company you got pull the talent from all events do an investigation & make a decision

2024-09-03 18:18:33 +0000 UTCThis is very strange

2024-09-03 17:58:18 +0000 UTCThis is a wild situation, something very serious had to have happened for him to get pulled like this.

2024-09-03 17:56:12 +0000 UTCMy thought was maybe Kofi introduces him as like Big O or something and that makes Xavier go over the tipping point, but if he is really in deep shit then it’s probably a good idea to let it be silent for a while.
Jordan Moore
2024-09-03 17:31:12 +0000 UTCI’d like to think those days are over. Especially since he was introduced as odyssey jones. If things are this hush about it and they weren’t told it’s a story or something developing like a new gimmick then it’s probably something more serious. And I don’t see it as a gimmick change not only because he JUST appeared but nothing in that new day story reached the point where his gimmick would need to shift. He’s probably in deep trouble or something and they’re working to clear it up or might let him go so it’s not a PR nightmare.

2024-09-03 17:24:22 +0000 UTCSomething definitely happened because he was central to a story then suddenly nothing?
Laquita Momon
2024-09-03 17:15:12 +0000 UTCThis is most likely what’s happening, but it is weird they removed his bio completely from the website

2024-09-03 16:59:49 +0000 UTCAssuredly it isn’t about talent
Manton
2024-09-03 16:58:02 +0000 UTCIs there a typical timeframe that a company will respond on an official inquiry? For example, at my job, I have a 24 hour turn time to respond to an email. I wasn’t sure if there was anything similar.
Chris Hohn
2024-09-03 16:56:40 +0000 UTCFeels like he’s under investigation and they’re not saying anything until it’s confirmed. It’s so random.
Wulf
2024-09-03 16:50:13 +0000 UTCSomething happened man where everybody is hush hush and it’s telling the wrestling media hasn’t really come to his defense, probably from what there hearing it’s bad enough where they don’t want to say or can confirm it happened
Said Amadu-Suka
2024-09-03 16:47:58 +0000 UTCMaybe he messed up big time.. time will tell
Alan Alanis
2024-09-03 16:47:43 +0000 UTCI’m wondering if he’s not gone, but instead about to undergo a name change which is why the situation is so quiet.
