The latest episode of WWE SmackDown featured a much-awaited debut. Following the show, Triple H sent a message to the debutant, welcoming him to the company in his signature style.
Royce Keys is the debutant in question. The Monstar arrived in WWE earlier this year at the Royal Rumble Premium Live Event, where he competed in the Men’s Royal Rumble Match. He lasted nearly 10 minutes in the contest and eliminated former World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest. Keys was ultimately thrown over the top rope by Bronson Reed.
Thanks for the submission!
After weeks of speculation about his status, WWE recently announced that the former TNT Champion will make his SmackDown debut on April 10, 2026. Keys faced Berto in a singles match on this week’s episode of the blue show. He dominated his opponent and emerged victorious in less than three minutes.
On X, Triple H posted a picture alongside Keys and congratulated him on his successful SmackDown debut. He also made a prediction about The Monstar’s future in the company, breaking his silence.
“Just the beginning… congratulations @realRoyceKeys on a dominant #SmackDown debut,” Triple H wrote.
Many fans were expecting The Game to post his signature finger-point photo with the former AEW star after Royal Rumble 2026, but he didn’t. He was seemingly waiting for Keys to wrestle his first singles match on WWE TV to post the picture.
Sports analyst took shots at Cody Rhodes’ relationship with Triple H on WWE SmackDown
Cody Rhodes is currently embroiled in a feud with the team of Randy Orton and Pat McAfee over the Undisputed WWE Championship. The American Nightmare will put his gold on the line against The Viper at WrestleMania 42 Night One on April 18.
On the latest episode of SmackDown, McAfee and Rhodes engaged in a promo battle. When The Prodigal Son was heading to the backstage area, the popular sports analyst took shots at his relationship with the WWE Chief Content Officer. McAfee asked Rhodes whether he was going to “suck Triple H’s a**”.
Rhodes shares a storied history with the Hall of Famer. He was involved in a heated feud with The Game early in his career. In AEW, The American Nightmare shockingly smashed a throne to send a message to Triple H. However, the duo developed a close working relationship when the second-generation wrestler returned to WWE.
