Royce Keys Discusses Bringing Out a Different Side of Carmelo Hayes in The 946

During a recent interview with The Takedown on Sports Illustrated, WWE Superstar Royce Keys discussed Carmelo Hayes joining the group and how all the members were specifically handpicked. Below are some highlights:

Royce Keys on Carmelo Hayes

“Melo’s always been my boy. Before this even came up, before WWE. I know how he is. He’s just like a pit bull. He’s got a little Tyson in him that some people haven’t seen. The world got a taste of it (Monday) night, so it’s just one of those things that, you know, it’s like a pot of gumbo. You got all your ingredients, and you’re seasoning it, and once it’s together, you know, it’s just a chef’s kiss.”

On Everyone in the Group Being Handpicked

“Just being featured on some of the heavy segments, you know, the trust and value, week after week, it means a lot. It definitely lets me know I’m doing the right thing. Everyone in The 946 — Jaida, Lucien, Bronco, Melo now — we’re all doing the right things. We’re all on the same page, and everyone in this group is handpicked.”

On What The 946 Will Do for Hayes

“It’s gonna give him a different side. It’s given me a different side. It’s given Bronco, Lucien and Jada, you know, everyone’s gonna see a different side of all of us. Those three numbers mean something, and something we say every single week: 946 means ain’t nobody safe.”

Carmelo Hayes had been MIA from WWE for two months. He interfered in the main event of this week’s WWE Raw, during Keys and OTM vs. Solo Sikoa and The Usos. He hit Sikoa with a tire iron when he was setting up Keys for the Samoan Spike. Hayes is now officially a member of The 946.
