Odyssey Jones Breaks Silence After WWE Release

Odyssey Jones was fired from WWE in September last year after having been taken off weekly programming shortly before. Jones was introduced as a part of the storyline involving The New Day, potentially being set up as a brand new member of the group, replacing Big E, who was eventually kicked out of the group by Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods. 

Jones’ absence from WWE programming came following the emergence of allegations regarding Jones that WWE was made aware of. The former WWE wrestler has now broken his silence following his release from WWE and the allegations that were made against him. 

Taking to his social media platforms, Jones claimed that the allegations were false and that he was working on legal action, before stating that he is accepting bookings in 2025. 

"My name is Omari Palmer, aka Odyssey Jones. First and foremost, I'd like to thank Jesus Christ, my lord and Savior, for giving me the strength to get through these difficult times. As always, all glory to God. Secondly, I would like to say Happy New Year and I wish you all a great and safe 2025. I'm making this video to address the false allegations. These false claims are coming from a party that I used to prior engage with I apologize for taking so long for addressing these false claims. But I had to patiently wait to get an injunction set in place to protect my family, my friends, and myself. I'm currently taking legal action against said party, so I can't speak too much more on it, but there will be more information to come. 

“With that being said, I would like to thank the WWE for the amazing opportunity they've given me in my life. I thank you so much for bringing me on. I'd like to thank all the coaches I've worked with over the years for helping me work on my craft and grow my craft and grow as a person. I'd also like to thank management and creative for putting me in a position for success, as well as thank the fans for the support that you have given me, not only today, but all the way back in day one. With all that being said, the journey continues. I'm ready to get back to doing what I love to do. I am accepting bookings in 2025, and I thank you all for your support and for your time. I'm wishing you nothing but blessing and love, baby. Big O out."

Jones made his main roster debut in 2024 after being signed to the company back in 2019. Just weeks after his debut, he was removed from WWE programming and there was no mention of him again.
