Odyssey Jones, whose real name is Omari Palmer, has been noticeably absent from recent “WWE Raw” tapings, sparking a wave of speculation about his status. According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, Jones was pulled from television after WWE learned of domestic violence allegations against the wrestler. While no charges have been filed against Palmer at this time, the situation has raised significant concerns within the company.
The Allegations and WWE’s Response
Sapp’s update on social media indicates that WWE moved quickly to remove Jones from TV upon learning about the allegations, although talent within the company had not been formally informed about the situation. The lack of charges leaves the matter in a state of uncertainty, but it’s clear that WWE is taking a cautious approach as they navigate this sensitive issue.
Odyssey Jones’ WWE Journey
Jones had just started gaining momentum on “WWE Raw,” where he teamed up with Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods of The New Day. The trio scored a victory over The Final Testament on the August 19 episode of “Raw,” which now stands as Jones’ last in-ring appearance with the company. His WWE career began in 2019, with his first televised match airing two years later on “205 Live.” After several years in NXT, Jones was called up during the WWE Draft earlier this year, making an impact in his debut “Raw” match just last month.
What’s Next for Odyssey Jones?
Earlier today, Fightful Select reported that Jones had been removed from WWE’s creative plans for the foreseeable future, despite being involved in a storyline with top talent like former WWE Champion Kofi Kingston. PWInsider Elite corroborated this report, noting that while Jones is still listed on WWE’s internal roster, his future with the company remains uncertain.
As this situation unfolds, it remains to be seen what the long-term impact will be on Jones’ career. For now, WWE appears to be distancing itself from the wrestler, leaving his status in limbo.
