Hobbs had been with AEW for the last five years. He was a World Trios and TNT Champion in the company. His last match was at the Maximum Carnage edition of Collision, where The Opps (Samoa Joe, Katsuyori Shibata & Powerhouse Hobbs) dropped the World Trios Titles to Hangman Adam Page and JetSpeed (Kevin Knight & ‘Speedball’ Mike Bailey).

On January 20th, WWE filed a trademark for the name ‘Royce Keys.’
