#2. Royce Keys Would Be an Intriguing Opponent
The 2026 Men’s Royal Rumble wasn’t filled with many jaw-dropping moments, but the wrestling world was glad to see Royce Keys, formerly known as Powerhouse Hobbs, make his impactful debut. Keys eliminated Damian Priest and had an impressive outing.
However, Keys is yet to appear following his Rumble debut. Given his talent, background, and charisma, it would be a disappointment to see WWE’s latest signee miss out on WrestleMania. Fortunately, the powerhouse does have a few storylines already brewing for him.
Keys spent some time with Cody Rhodes in AEW. The American Nightmare provided emotional support to Keys when the latter’s mother passed. WWE could channel Keys’ legitimate backstage friendship with Rhodes into an onscreen feud with both men as babyfaces.
The American Nightmare is a prominent face on the WWE roster. Feuding with someone like Rhodes in Mania season would do wonders for Keys. It would bring more eyes to the former AEW star, who is yet to familiarize himself with the WWE Universe.
