Which major debut is set to take place on WWE SmackDown this week?
WWE has announced that former AEW star Royce Keys, formerly known as Powerhouse Hobbs, is set to make his official debut on SmackDown this week. He made his first appearance for the company as part of the 2026 Men’s Royal Rumble match at the namesake Premium Live Event. Following that, Keys had a major sit-down interview with Stephanie McMahon, but waited for the time to have his first official match in WWE. Now, his time has come, and it came just two weeks before WrestleMania 42 takes place.
