The New Day Saved By Forgotten WWE Star
The issues between The Final Testament and The New Day continued on WWE Raw but help has finally arrived for Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods.
For what feels like months, Karrion Kross’ Final Testament group has been at war with The New Day as Kross looks to finally end the popular WWE tag team once and for all.
On Raw in Baltimore, The New Day faced off with The Authors of Pain and it looked like Karrion Kross was going to prove decisive in that bout. Kross interfered which allowed AOP to take control but to the surprise of absolutely everyone, The New Day’s saviour appeared in the form of Odyssey Jones.
Jones took out Karrion Kross which provided enough of a distraction for The New Day to win the match. As AOP attacked Woods and Kingston after the bout, Odyssey Jones laid out both Akam and Rezar with a huge double sidewalk slam.
IT'S ODYSSEY JONES!!!

Backstage Kofi Kingston was excited as he celebrated with Jones but Xavier Woods remained unsure and noted he didn’t even know Kingston and Jones were friends. Kingston noted he had met at WWE’s Performance Center but a note of uncertainty continues to hang over the group.
Who Is The New Day’s Saviour & Where Has He Been?
Odyssey Jones joined WWE in 2019 but didn’t have his first televised match until he defeated Grayson Waller in 2021 on a somewhat ironic episode of 205 Live. Jones missed most of WWE due to injury but following his return, he became a more regular member of the NXT roster.
Jones was part of the 2023 WWE Draft where he was moved to Raw but he didn’t appear on the red brand, wrestling dark matches on SmackDown instead. Odyssey Jones was again drafted to Raw in 2024 but this appearance was his debut on the show.
