The Suplex Shoot

Royce Keys (fka Powerhouse Hobbs) debuted at the Royal Rumble, looked like an absolute monster in Saudi, eliminated Damian Priest, and then… disappeared.

Danhausen already has more TV time.

Reports are saying there’s “nothing” creatively for him right now. And that’s the frustrating part.

You bring in a powerhouse with a ready-made presence, give him a strong Rumble showing, tease a possible Priest program… then scrap it heading into WrestleMania season? This is when you’re supposed to establish guys, not cool them off.

SmackDown feels like the obvious landing spot. He’s got the look. He’s got the size. He can be a heater, a wrecking ball, or even a slow-burn main event project. But right now he’s just… waiting.

And here’s the real question:

Is this patience and long-term storytelling?
Or is this the beginning of another “we just don’t have anything for him” situation?

What do you think WWE’s plan is for Royce Keys? Future star or next name we forget about?
