Sad Update On Royce Keys’ WWE Future

He’s only just arrived in WWE, but now there’s been an update on Royce Keys’ future in the company, and it’s not good news.

Royce Keys officially arrived in WWE at the Royal Rumble when he debuted in the men’s Rumble match. Previously, the star had been known as Powerhouse Hobbs in AEW, and in his final match in that company, he lost the AEW Trios Title to JetSet Rodeo – Hangman Adam Page, Speedball Mike Bailey, and Kevin Knight.

Since his debut, Keys has competed in dark matches at successive SmackDown tapings, defeating the likes of Nathan Frazer, Chris Sabin, and Alex Shelley. But with such a strong debut behind him, fans are asking why the star hasn’t been appearing on television.

And it seems that might not be changing anytime soon, heading into WrestleMania 42.

WWE Has No Plans For Royce Keys

During a Q&A session, WrestleVotes noted that there are no current creative plans for Royce Keys in WWE:

Creative plans for Royce Keys? Nothing — absolutely nothing. SmackDown was going to be the place for him, and I know he was backstage last Friday night. There’s no clue when he’s showing up on TV.

The WrestleMania 42 card is beginning to take shape; whether or not WWE finds a spot on it for Keys remains to be seen.
