WWE Took Extreme Measures to Keep Royce Keys’ Royal Rumble Debut a Secret

TLDR

WWE kept Royce Keys in a hidden room and brought gym equipment to him rather than allowing him to use the hotel gym before his Royal Rumble debut in Saudi Arabia. Speaking on "What's Your Story?" with Stephanie McMahon, Keys revealed that Triple H explained they didn't want anyone to see him before his surprise entrance, saying "Once it gets out, it's just out there." Keys entered the Royal Rumble at No. 14 and eliminated Damian Priest during his debut.
