A familiar face from SmackDown crossed over to Monday Night RAW on the July 13 episode, stepping straight into the middle of The Bloodline’s ongoing civil war.
Royce Keys didn’t arrive with much warning, but he certainly didn’t waste any time making an impact.
His unexpected appearance quickly turned a tense confrontation into an impromptu match that added another chapter to one of WWE’s hottest rivalries.
Royce Keys collides with Jimmy Uso in surprise WWE RAW match
Jimmy Uso came to the ring looking for Solo Sikoa, questioning whether his former Bloodline ally was avoiding him. Jimmy also boasted about his recent victory over Royce Keys before calling on Solo to “fall in line.”
Instead, Keys stormed the ring and attacked Jimmy, forcing security to intervene. RAW General Manager Adam Pearce then appeared and immediately made the rivalry official by booking an impromptu singles match between the two.
The contest was physical from the opening bell, with Keys controlling much of the early action through his power offense. Jimmy answered with his trademark aerial attacks, while both men traded momentum in a hard-hitting battle that spilled outside the ring.
The match took another turn when a black SUV arrived at the arena, revealing Jacob Fatu. Moments later, Fatu charged to the ring and attacked Keys, prompting the referee to award the match to Royce Keys via disqualification.
The drama didn’t end there. Fatu attempted to continue the assault with a steel chair before Solo Sikoa suddenly appeared. Seemingly showing remorse, Solo claimed he understood that “blood is thicker than water” and announced he was coming home to The Bloodline. Just when it looked like the family was back on the same page, Solo blindsided Jimmy with a Samoan Spike before brawling with Fatu.
Formerly known as Powerhouse Hobbs in AEW, Keys has become deeply involved in the Bloodline storyline. Now, after making his RAW debut, it appears there’s no brand split when family business is on the line — and in WWE, a surprise entrance can change the script before the bell even stops ringing.
