Odyssey Jones Makes WWE Raw Debut: Bully Ray Reacts

One big thing: Odyssey Jones finally debuted on WWE Raw after an 18-month wait

Odyssey Jones made his long-awaited WWE Raw debut on Monday night, helping The New Day defeat The Authors of Pain.

• Jones was originally drafted to Raw in 2023 but wasn’t used in a main roster match until now.
• He was re-drafted to Raw in 2024 and has now been inserted into a storyline.

What they’re saying

WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray shared his thoughts on “Busted Open Radio“:

• “I thought last night was a phenomenal debut for Odyssey Jones.”
• “It kind of reminded me of back in the day, Mabel, King Mabel with that mass, with that girth and that size.”
• “It didn’t look like Xavier Woods was exactly enthralled to see Odyssey Jones, and that’s the part that intrigued me the most.”

Why it matters

Jones’ debut could signal a fresh direction for The New Day, potentially filling the gap left by Big E’s absence due to injury.

By the numbers

• Jones has only competed in 9 matches this year, all on WWE house shows.
• It’s been nearly 18 months since Jones was first called up from NXT.

The big question

Will Odyssey Jones become a permanent member of The New Day, or is WWE planning a different direction for this newcomer?
