Royce Keys (Powerhouse Hobbs): I Don’t Like Looking Back, I Don’t Like Second Guessing Myself
Royce Keys (Powerhouse Hobbs in AEW) made his WWE debut at the Royal Rumble, entering the men’s Royal Rumble.
Keys had been with AEW since the pandemic, but finished up in January before jumping to WWE.
In a behind the scenes vlog, WWE cameras followed Keys ahead of his debut.
“This is wild, like something out of a movie,” Keys said while standing in the stadium in Saudi Arabia. “This whole set up. Walking down this aisle, the ring, the background. It’s pretty amazing. I’m getting goosebumps under this sweatshirt. It feels real. Looking at the ring, the stage set up, the seats, it’s real. Never thought I would be part of something this big. This is huge. Leading to the grand daddy of them all, WrestleMania. It starts tonight.”
Later in the vlog, he said, “I’m a believer that things happen and the universe plays out everything. You don’t want to have any regrets. I personally don’t like looking back at things in life. I don’t like second guessing myself. ‘What if I had done this? Maybe I should have done that? What if?’ Everything lined up and made sense to be here.”
Keys lasted just under ten minutes in the Rumble, scoring an elimination on Damian Priest, before he was eliminated by Bronson Reed.
