Odyssey Jones broke his silence on being fired by WWE in 2024 after domestic violence allegations came to WWE’s attention.
He was pulled from WWE.com’s talent roster before the news of his departure was reported. Jones first signed with WWE in 2019, where he was placed in NXT. In April 2023, he was called up to the main roster. However, WWE held off on his official debut until August 2024.
Jones had been given a push by being aligned with The New Day. Jones addressed the allegations in this video on social media:
“Good morning, my name is Omari Palmer, AKA Odyssey Jones. First and foremost I’d like to thanks my lord and savior Jesus Christ Lord for giving me the strength to get through these difficult times…..I’m making this video to address the false allegations. These false claims are coming from a party that I used to engage with, and 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 am currently taking legal action against said party, so I can’t speak too much more on it, but there will be information to come. That being said, I would like to thank WWE for the amazing opportunity they have given me in my life. I thank you so much for bringing me on….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 give me not only today but all the way back from day one. With all that being said, the journey continues. I’m ready to get back to doing what I love to do. I’m accepting bookings in 2025, and I thank you all for your support and for your time. I wish you nothing but blessing and love.”
