As previously reported, Powerhouse Hobbs’ contract with AEW expired on January 15th and he recently signed with WWE. Hobbs is currently expected to be going under the new ring name of Royce Keys for his career in WWE.
Fightful Select is reporting that WWE sources indicated Powerhouse Hobbs was scheduled to travel to Saudi Arabia this week. There’s been speculation that he could be making his debut at the Royal Rumble, but that hasn’t been confirmed.
It was noted that Hobbs did not make the trip with the rest of the team that headed to Saudi Arabia after Raw, and there’s been no word of him popping up yet.
On ESPN Get Up on Wednesday morning, WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque made it crystal clear that there will be “a lot of surprises in store” at WWE Royal Rumble: Riyadh this weekend
