On September 4, the group officially started going by the name 946. WWE had filed for the trademark on August 28, just days after the stable came together.
The momentum continued on the September 7 episode of RAW. The Usos and Jacob Fatu called 946 out to brawl in the ring, but Keys, Nima, and Price responded by setting the brothers’ car on fire.
Keys hasn’t slowed down since returning in August, and he keeps getting pulled further into the show’s top storylines. Rumors suggest WWE plans to keep 946 front and center in the coming weeks.
