Royce Keys Shares That Triple H Ordered Him Full Gym Set To Prepare For WWE Debut
Keys looks back at his arrival to WWE.
A new interview with Royce Keys was pushed out by Adrian Hernandez. Keys debuted for WWE as part of the 2026 men’s Royal Rumble match.
He was a surprise entrant and stated that he had to be hidden away in his hotel room. Keys shared that Chief Content Officer Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque ordered him a full gym set so he could prepare.
“I don’t think I slept the night before. Just going to the airport, getting on that first flight. Okay, it’s happening. Getting on that second flight and just landing in Saudi, then having someone wait for me… I had to stay in my hotel. I complained, and Hunter had a full gym delivered to me in my whole little living room. My living room was rearranged into a gym. I was pumping it and had to get that pump on. He’s a gym guy, so he know how it is. But, that next morning, waking up, getting in the car, going in my room, it was crazy. I sit back and watch clips and I’ve watched the (Royal) Rumble. I’m like, ‘Man, golly, that’s me? That’s me walking down there and getting in Damian Priest’s face? Getting in Cody’s face?’ It’s wild.”
In another media appearance, Keys spoke about the gap between his debut and his TV debut on SmackDown. His comments can be read here.
