Odyssey Jones was called up to the main roster in 2023. Jones appeared on WWE television last August, aligning with the New Day. WWE removed Jones from Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods’ storyline due to domestic violence allegations. He was later fired from the company.
In an interview with the New York Post, Kofi Kingston was asked about Odyssey Jones’s removal from the New Day storyline.
“One of the main lessons that I’ve learned is that you never know what tomorrow is going to bring with WWE. You always have to be ready to adjust at the drop of a hat. There have been times where we have known what’s going to happen at a “Monday Night Raw” for weeks and we work towards that, and then we get into the building, and then all of a sudden, we’re doing the exact opposite. And it’s your ability to adjust and roll with the punches that pulls you up. Nothing ever goes as planned.
So all that to say, you know, once Odyssey was out of the mix, we just had to figure out a way to pivot and keep the story going and keep on moving forward, because, as they say, the show must go on. And you figure out the best ways to adjust.”
