Date For Royce Keys’ Next WWE Appearance Revealed
Royce Keys made his WWE debut at the Royal Rumble in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on January 31.
He was part of the Men’s Royal Rumble, where he made his entrance at #14, eliminated Damian Priest, and was then eliminated by Bronson Reed, lasting around 10 minutes in the ring. Keys is yet to make his weekly television debut, and fans have been waiting to see him.
On the February 9 edition of the WrestleVotes Q&A session, many expected Royce Keys to make his television debut on Friday Night SmackDown last week; however, he was not included on the show.
Royce Keys Will Make His Next Appearance On 02/13 WWE SmackDown
WrestleVotes then reported that Royce Keys will make his television debut on the February 13 edition of Friday Night SmackDown, which will air live from the American Airlines Center on Friday, February 13, 2026.
WrestleVotes: “I was surprised we didn’t see him last Friday. From what I saw, he was not on any of the sheets at all. He was not included there. We’ll see him this Friday night from Dallas, Texas.”
The February 13 edition of Friday Night SmackDown will also feature some high-profile matches. Jade Cargill will put her WWE Women’s Championship on the line against Jordynne Grace. Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky will defend their WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship against Nia Jax and Lash Legend.
Cody Rhodes, Jacob Fatu, and Sami Zayn will wrestle in a triple-threat Men’s Elimination Chamber qualifier match, while Alexa Bliss, Giulia, and Zelina Vega will compete in a triple-threat Women’s Elimination Chamber qualifier match. The show will also feature a singles match between Trick Williams and Rey Fenix.
This week’s Friday Night SmackDown will air live on Syfy in the United States instead of its usual USA Network, due to the Winter Olympics coverage.
