Royce Keys Returns To WWE Raw Alongside OTM In Brutal Closing Attack

Posted By: WNS Staff on Aug 25, 2026

Royce Keys made an emphatic return to WWE Raw on Monday night, and he brought some serious backup with him.

Keys resurfaced during the closing stages of Raw alongside OTM members Bronco Nima and Lucien Price, bringing an abrupt end to the tag team main event featuring Solo Sikoa and LA Knight against The Usos.

Rather than choosing a side in the ongoing conflict, Keys and OTM targeted everyone in sight.

The trio unleashed an attack on both teams, with steel steps being used as weapons during the chaotic assault. Things escalated further when Nima and Price drove Jey Uso through the announce table at ringside.

Keys made sure Jimmy Uso had a front-row seat to the destruction, forcing him to watch what was happening to his brother.

Raw went off the air with Keys, Nima and Price standing together after leaving The Usos, Sikoa and Knight battered around ringside.

Michael Cole addressed Keys' actions on commentary, suggesting the ongoing issues involving The Bloodline, Solo Sikoa and LA Knight had ultimately pushed Keys to the point where he was prepared to target everybody involved.

Royce Keys Returns After Being Taken Out
Keys had not appeared on WWE television since the August 3 episode of Raw, when he battled Jacob Fatu in a Street Fight.

Although the match had already ended with Fatu victorious, the punishment continued. Fatu positioned Keys' head inside a steel chair in the corner before delivering a devastating running hip attack.

WWE subsequently announced the following week that Keys would be sidelined indefinitely, leaving his return date uncertain.

His comeback now appears to have opened the door to a new alliance with OTM.

Bronco Nima has also experienced plenty of turmoil in recent months. Earlier this summer, Nima became associated with Los Perros del Mal in AAA, creating tension between himself and longtime partner Lucien Price.

That situation has since changed dramatically.

Nima and Price officially reconciled last Tuesday, putting their differences behind them with an embrace. Nima's association with Los Perros del Mal then came to an end during Saturday's AAA event, where he was removed from the group following his defeat to Penta.

With Keys now back and OTM reunited, Monday's closing angle appears to have established the trio as a dangerous new force on WWE Raw.
