Powerhouse Hobbs is now Royce Keys.

WWE trademarked the name in the weeks leading up to the Royal Rumble, following reports that Hobbs would be getting an altered name in WWE. 

Royce Keys is the name, and there’s a sentimental meaning behind it. Royce is the name of his youngest son, and Keys is the maiden name of his late mother. 

Hobbs’ real last name is Hobson, so using his real name would have also been available to use.

Good combo. Hope they book him well. Any idea where he may land show wise? Maybe SD?

John Witte

Awesome name for him

Justmask

I didn't like it when I first heard it but I'll never criticize talent using something with such sentimental value

Mark McDonald

Cant stand the fed and wont be watching. Love hobbs though and i hope he kills it there. He deserves it !!! Love the reasons behind the name as well ❤

Why can't people let anyone be critical of a name change if it has sentimental value? I can't imagine Hobbs wouldn't have preferred coming in with his established name if he had been given the choice

Isomorphic Prime

At least it has meaning. I prefer Powerhouse Hobbs, but considering the crap the fed could pull this is good

Tyger Burch

Hobbs didn't own the name Powerhouse Hobbs to begin with so I cant blame the Fed for changing it. He said himself Tony came up with it so this isn't a bad substitute.

John Thee Punisher

Because nobody cares that much. It's just a name. In six months it'll seem completely normal.

O.G. Miller

I like when wrestlers give subtle nods to their family. I like the name

jxb

I like the name a lot more now that I know the meaning. Wishing him success

Raymond Slover

That was a terrible debut. Terrible Titantron. Even worse music. And just a powerslam. He should have launched preist into the 3rd row.

Raymond Slover

Did you watch his debut? They already ruined him.

Matthew Bamford

What happened, I haven't watched WWE in years.

Stalla

They had a chance to make him a made man, and in typical HHH fashion nothing.

Ethan ferguson

Any word as to which brand he is heading towards?
