Royce Keys ‘out indefinitely’ following last week’s WWE Raw attack, further details

Royce Keys is reportedly out of action indefinitely following Jacob Fatu’s attack on last week’s WWE Raw.

However, Dave Meltzer reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that the injuries are storyline and the angle was not designed to cover a legitimate injury. Keys joined WWE in January and debuted at the Royal Rumble, with his loss to Fatu coming two days after teaming with LA Knight and Solo Sikoa to defeat Fatu and The Usos at SummerSlam.
