Royce Keys and OTM joined up to lay waste to the main event of WWE Raw, and a new report has details on when the plans for the trio began. As noted, the former NXT tag team made their main roster debuts on last night’s Raw as they teamed up with Keys and took out The Usos, LA Knight, and Solo Sikoa during the tag team match that headlined the show.
According to a new report by False Finish, the alliance has been in the works for “a few weeks” before last night’s show. Bronco Nima had been part of Perros Del Mal in AAA, but was booted from the group on this past weekend’s AAA on FOX after he failed to defeat Penta. Keys had been off TV for a few weeks after being defeated by Jacob Fatu in a street fight, after which Fatu assaulted him.
The site also reports that according to a source, the backstage reaction to the trio’s debut together on last night’s show was “very positive.” Nima and Lucian Price have been part of NXT as OTM since June of 2023, while Keys made his WWE debut at the 2026 Royal Rumble.
