WWE’s Odyssey Jones Reportedly Fired: Domestic Violence Claims
His recent absence from multiple “WWE Raw” tapings has sparked widespread speculation about his current status.
A few weeks back, the wrestler debuted alongside The New Day, assisting them against The New Testament, but since then, he has not appeared on the last two episodes of Monday Night RAW.
Furthermore, he also missed the August 23 episode of RAW and the September 3 show.
Following this, American journalist and reporter Dave Meltzer shared an update on Wrestling Observer Radio, noting that while the company hasn’t issued an official statement, it’s highly likely that he’s no longer with them.
On Twitter, Wrestletalk referenced a quote from Meltzer:
I’m relatively certain he’s done, but it has not been confirmed anywhere. I’ve heard a bunch of stories, but nothing that I would I’d say is confirmed, but it looks like he’s no longer with the company.
His angle’s done, no mention on the show, no clips on like if he’s injured or something, no acknowledgement of him at all. You know Kofi Kingston was on and there’s no acknowledgment of what they’ve been doing. So he’s off, he’s gone.
According to the latest report from Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, Jones was removed from WWE television after the company became aware of domestic violence accusations.

Although the specifics of the allegations are still unknown, Bryan Alvarez further confirmed on Wrestling Observer Live that WWE has fired Jones and that he was notified of Jones’ termination.
Alvarez mentioned that WWE hasn’t issued an official press release, but trusted sources have confirmed that Jones is no longer with the company. He said:
There has not been a press release or anything like that. But I’ve been told Odyssey Jones is fired. There are rumors online, also from Fightful, that it was a domestic violence allegation. Apparently no arrests at this point but I was told fired. So, that’s it for Odyssey Jones.
The recent domestic violence allegations have cast doubt on Odyssey Jones’ future with WWE.
