It has been confirmed that PWMania.com previously indicated that Royce Keys teamed up with OTM, consisting of Bronco Nima and Lucien Price, during their main collection of stars debut on Monday night’s episode of RAW. Together, they jumped The Usos, Solo Sikoa, and LA Knight during a booked marquee encounter match.
According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter — their debut is being compared to that of Nexus and The Shield, as both factions were introduced as novel forces that in a flash entered significant storylines. Meltzer also mentioned that this development could potentially lead to a WarGames encounter involving Keys, Nima, and Price.
The report indicated that discussions about pairing Keys and OTM began about a month prior. Originally, plans were in place for OTM to split up, and WWE’s Vice President of Content and Development, Jeremy Borash, had considered placing Nima in Los Perros Del Mal in AAA. They had even began a storyline in NXT that would break up Nima and Price.
Be that as it may, these plans were eventually scrapped, and AAA storylines began writing Nima out of the faction. Instead, Nima and Price moved to WWE’s main roster together as OTM and aligned with Keys during their debut on RAW.
