Keys debuted at the 2026 Royal Rumble and made his SmackDown in-ring debut in April. Ahead of the six-man tag at SummerSlam, Keys told No-Contest Wrestling that he learned during WrestleMania week that Triple H already knew his work.
“It means a lot. During Mania week, I sat down with The Ringer podcast, and it was to my surprise that Triple H, Paul [Levesque], had his eye on me. He knew who I was,” Keys said.
“To especially be put in this position with these guys who have been established here for years, who are vets to the game, it means that I’m in the right place. It means that they trust me. When you have an opportunity and you need to run a play, you’ve got to run the play, because who knows if this may come up again?”
Keys will team with LA Knight and Solo Sikoa against Jacob Fatu and The Usos at SummerSlam on Saturday, Aug. 1. Knight issued the challenge on the July 13 Raw after Keys’ match with Jey Uso ended in a no contest.
