Royce Keys is reportedly making a strong impression behind the scenes in WWE, with one report suggesting company officials see him as a future world champion.

According to WRKD Wrestling, Keys has earned considerable praise for his work ethic and how comfortably he has stepped into a main event role. A separate report from False Finish claims WWE higher-ups believe he has the potential to reach world championship level.

Keys debuted at this year’s Royal Rumble and initially competed on SmackDown before moving to Raw, where he became involved in the ongoing Bloodline storyline.

His partnership with OTM has since given him an increasingly prominent role. The group officially introduced themselves as 946 on the August 24 episode of Raw and have repeatedly clashed with The Usos and Jacob Fatu.

The rivalry escalated further this week when 946 set The Usos’ vehicle on fire during the show, adding another dramatic chapter to their feud.

With a major storyline already underway and reports of growing backstage support, Keys appears to be building momentum in WWE.

Royce Keys has been given massive praise behind the scenes for instantly slotting into a major main event role effortlessly.

Plans are being formed to continue featuring 946, with some feeling they would be a perfect fit for WarGames. pic.twitter.com/7MpRQxqYjb
