With only a few hours left until tonight’s RAW, Royce Keys posted a photo on Instagram showing the FedExForum, the arena hosting tonight’s show in Memphis, Tennessee. The image confirmed his presence backstage, although so far no one knows if he will, in fact, appear on TV.

Since making his WWE debut at the Royal Rumble at the end of last month, in Riyadh, Keys has not appeared in front of the cameras. He entered as the 14th participant that night, eliminated Damian Priest, and ended up being eliminated from the match by Bronson Reed.

After that, there was total silence regarding his situation.

Last week, however, he was backstage at SmackDown, where he worked a dark match against Nathan Frazer. In other words, WWE is using Keys off the air, testing and fine-tuning him, with no rush for him to make his official on-screen debut.

Tonight’s RAW is packed with major announcements. AJ Lee, for example, is confirmed, as is her husband, the World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk.

Liv Morgan — winner of the Women’s Royal Rumble — and two more Elimination Chamber Qualifying Matches are also scheduled. With so much happening, fitting Keys into a quick appearance wouldn’t be impossible, but we can say it is quite unlikely.
