Massive Revelation On Newly Signed WWE Star’s Relationship With Roman Reigns’ Cousins

This new WWE star has a history with the Bloodline.

Royce Keys (FKA Powerhouse Hobbs in AEW) made his WWE debut in January at the Royal Rumble. He had a short but impressive showing in the gimmick match and even eliminated former World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest before being eliminated by Bronson Reed.

Hobbs’ story is filled with personal struggle from his childhood, and was shown in a montage on SmackDown recently when he debuted on April 10th in a match against Berto, which he won.

Hobbs also won the Andre the Giant Battle Royal on the SmackDown before WrestleMania 42.

New WWE Star Royce Keys Reveals His Relationship With The Bloodline Members

Keys moved to WWE from AEW, and now the Stamford-based company has plans to help him skip NXT and work directly on the main roster.

In a recent chat with Joey Karni, when asked about possible alliances in WWE, Keys talked about wrestlers from the current roster he has a history with, like Jacob Fatu, the Usos, and Solo Sikoa, and knows their families well.

Jacob Fatu and I have a history together. I’ve known that family for quite a while. So, The Usos, Solo, I’ve known that family a long time. So, there is some history there.

Keys also talked about how debuting at the Royal Rumble was a big moment for him and that it’s part of history now that it has happened, and he can only build on the impact he has made.

It just meant a lot, just thinking about the names that came before you, living up to expectations. So, and while doing that, you got to create your own path. I did that. I mean, I made an impact in the (Royal) Rumble. It’s in history now. So, now we move forward and progress and take everything I want.

Following his debut in January, Keys competed in dark matches, and WWE allowed it upon his request.
