Backstage News On WWE Putting Together New Faction Of Royce Keys & OTM

A new WWE faction was formed in the closing minutes of the August 24 episode of Monday Night Raw, and how long the new stable had been planned has been revealed.

The main event of Raw saw LA Knight and Solo Sikoa team together against The Usos, and as Jey Uso was taunting Solo, Royce Keys suddenly sprinted out of nowhere and speared them both through the barricade. OTM of Lucien Price and Bronco Nima then attacked Jimmy Uso and LA Knight in the ring to rule the match a no contest. Keys and OTM then proceeded to beat down The Usos, Solo Sikoa, and LA Knight to end Raw standing tall.

False Finish has reported that putting Royce Keys and OTM together has been in the works for a few weeks. While the crowd response was somewhat mixed to the debut of the new group, internally the response to the trio was "very positive."

Royce Keys had been gone from WWE TV since the post-SummerSlam edition of Monday Night Raw when he was defeated and then beaten down post-match by Jacob Fatu. OTM had been featured in NXT, while Bronco Nima was also a part of Los Perros del Mal in Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide. According to reports, the plan was for Nima to be in the faction for the long haul, but he was suddenly kicked out of the group on the August 22 episode of AAA TV.
