Backstage Reaction to Odyssey Jones’ 8/5 WWE RAW Debut

Odyssey Jones had a promising call-up to WWE’s main roster, but his progress had stalled for over a year. His fortunes took a turn for the better with his impressive debut on RAW this week. The backstage reaction to his debut has been notably positive, with many expressing excitement about his return and potential impact on the roster.

On the August 5 episode of Monday Night RAW, Kofi Kingston made a dramatic return to join Xavier Woods in a match against The Final Testament’s Akam and Rezar. Despite a hard-fought battle, a distraction from Karrion Kross led to Rezar pinning Woods, while Kingston was incapacitated outside the ring.

With The New Day outnumbered, Odyssey Jones made his highly anticipated debut after being drafted to RAW the previous year. Jones made a powerful impact by taking down The Final Testament and demonstrating his strength with a slam that lifted both AOP members simultaneously. His arrival not only bolstered The New Day but also drew a reaction from former member Big E.

According to PWInsider Elite, WWE is internally thrilled with the massive social media numbers surrounding Odyssey Jones’ debut on this week’s episode of Monday Night RAW.

In fact, Odyssey Jones’ WWE RAW debut surpassed top AEW signings in terms of viewership as well. We’ll have to see how Odyssey Jones is utilized on WWE television in the coming weeks, as his debut has shown off his impressive strength and potential.
