WWE might be reshuffling plans for Royce Keys.
The former AEW star has surprisingly been kept off TV after his big Royal Rumble debut last month, leading to all kinds of speculations about his standing in the company.
WrestleVotes Radio recently provided some updates on the former TNT Champion and the potential reason behind his recent absence. The site revealed that the newest WWE signee was originally slated for a program with Damian Priest coming out of the Saudi PPV.
They couldn't provide an exact reason why Royce Keys has not been seen on the main roster after the PLE. Though they speculated that the recent change in top WrestleMania matches might have affected other programs heading into the Show of Shows as well. The report did say that Keys was still expected to end up on SmackDown whenever he did show up on TV.
WWE had teased a rematch between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes at Survivor Series last year. The Head of the Table has since renewed his rivalry with CM Punk instead and the two are now set for a WrestleMania showdown. Rhodes on the other hand, looks likely for a rematch with Drew McIntyre at the PPV but this match won't be confirmed until Elimination Chamber.
Damian Priest in the meantime, has been featured in some segments with R-Truth on SmackDown in the past couple of weeks. He is set to compete in an Elimination Chamber qualifying match against Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams this Friday.
