Update On Odyssey Jones’ WWE Employment Status Following Domestic Violence Allegation

The big story in pro wrestling over the past 24 hours has been regarding Odyssey Jones and why he was quietly removed from WWE’s roster page. And now, shortly after Fightful Select revealed it was because the 30-year-old had been accused of domestic violence, Bryan Alvarez has reported on Wrestling Observer Live that despite there having been no arrest, the former footballer has been fired.

“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.”

Jones, real name Omari Palmer, decided to try pro wrestling after his football career was cut short following an injury. However, while his time with WWE had so far been relatively uneventful, it did look like he was set for big things after recently debuting on Raw, and Triple H went out of his way to call him a “game changer” on social media. Yet, it appears that all the hard work that both Jones and WWE have put into creating a new star has been wasted.
