Royce Keys reveals his new WWE catchphrase and finisher in impressive debut win

More than two months after making his WWE debut at Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia. Royce Keys finally made his SmackDown television debut on tonight’s (Apr. 10) episode. He was matched up against low card tag team wrestler Berto of Los Garza.

Here is Royce’s entrance, where the word “Aight” was displayed on the video board.

The match wasn’t a complete squash, thanks to the ringside presence of Berto’s tag team partner Angel. But it was clear from the start that the point of this bout was to put over the impressive strength of this former AEW powerhouse. Keys put an exclamation point on that story by quickly finishing off Berto with a spinebuster for the three count.

Commentator Wade Barrett noted that Keys’ spinebuster is going to be a problem for the rest of the SmackDown roster to deal with, so it looks like this will be his finishing move going forward. Aight?

Royce made sure to say “Aight” multiple times in his promo later in the show, where Solo Sikoa introduced himself and offered Keys a helping hand if he ever needs one.
