On the recent edition of Monday Night RAW, Royce Keys returned to the brand and attacked Jey Uso and Solo Sikoa. However, Keys wasn’t alone, as he appeared with Bronco Nima and Lucien Price, aka OTM, and attacked The Usos, LA Knight, and Solo Sikoa to close the show. However, there was a reason behind the new alliance.

According to Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer Radio, the idea of bringing Keys and OTM together is to create another faction in the promotion, which they often do every few years. Management wants them to become big stars in the promotion, which is why they’re paired up together on the red brand.

OTM, aka Out The Mud, spent four years on the developmental brand before getting their main roster call-up. Meanwhile, Royce Keys, fka Powerhouse Hobbs, began his WWE journey at the Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia.

What’s next for Royce Keys and OTM on WWE RAW?

Earlier this year, Royce Keys started a storyline with Jacob Fatu where Keys wanted Fatu to be his own man in the promotion by leaving The Bloodline. The Samoan Werewolf rejected his friend’s advice and followed Roman Reigns’ order after SummerSlam in Minnesota.

The two former friends had a Street Fight on WWE RAW in Iowa, and Fatu proved his loyalty to The Original Tribal Chief. The former United States Champion made an example out of Royce Keys, who was stretchered out of the arena and went on hiatus from the weekly product.

On the recent edition of Monday Night RAW, Fatu didn’t accompany The Usos, and Royce Keys and OTM attacked everyone in the main event. It’s likely that the newly formed trio will feud with The Bloodline, including Jacob Fatu, in the coming weeks on the red brand.
