Update on Royce Keys’ Status for WWE Royal Rumble – As noted, former AEW star Powerhouse Hobbs, now known as Royce Keys following his signing with WWE, is expected to be one of the surprise entrants in Saturday’s Men’s Royal Rumble match. With the event set to take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, a new report has added further weight to the growing speculation surrounding his WWE debut.
According to Fightful Select, sources indicated that Hobbs was scheduled to travel to Saudi Arabia this week, the same location hosting the Royal Rumble Premium Live Event. While WWE has not officially confirmed his involvement, the reported travel plans strongly suggest that Royce Keys is slated to appear during the show, most likely as a surprise entrant in the Royal Rumble match.
Another possible direction for Hobbs’ debut could see him immediately aligned with The Vision. As previously noted, Paul Heyman appeared on ESPN’s First Take to promote the Royal Rumble and made it clear that The Vision intends to leave a major mark on Saturday night. Heyman hinted that more surprises could be on the way once everyone arrives in Riyadh.
“We may even have another surprise up our sleeve, getting into Riyadh. So by the time Saturday hits, you’ll know that The Vision is coming out of the Royal Rumble, with the main event of WrestleMania in place. And I’ll even tell you this, the goal is to make that man Bron Breakker,” Heyman said.
The Vision, consisting of Austin Theory, Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, and Logan Paul, has emerged as a dominant force on WWE RAW over the past several months. Their influence has continued to grow, with Breakker positioned as the centerpiece of the group’s long-term plans.
The Royal Rumble taking place in Saudi Arabia for the first time adds another layer of importance to the match. The winner of the Men’s Royal Rumble will earn a World Championship match at WrestleMania in Las Vegas this April, and Heyman has made it clear that securing that opportunity for Bron Breakker is the group’s primary objective.
If Royce Keys does debut at the Royal Rumble, his potential alignment with The Vision could immediately shift the balance of power in the match. His arrival would not only mark a significant moment in his WWE career, but could also play a key role in helping Breakker achieve the ultimate goal of punching his ticket to the WrestleMania main event.
