WWE's Royce Keys Says 946 Is Drawing Extreme Reactions: 'They Threw Beer At Us'
The 946's Royce Keys has discussed the strong reactions that he and the group have received from WWE fans ever since they began their feud with The Bloodline.
Keys and co. have done a few dastardly acts since debuting on "WWE Raw" that have made them the ultimate bad guys, eliciting boos everywhere they go. 946's attacks on The Bloodline have angered many of the latter's fans, with Keys revealing that he has received threats from them.
"I said it recently, I'm going after the grand prize, which is Roman Reigns. You should see my DMs of threats I get, man. Like, it's wild. People love him," revealed Keys to "Hot 97." "In Bossier City, Louisiana, they threw beer at us. You spend $19.95 on a beer and you want to throw it at me? Please do. That's your money."
The aforementioned show in Louisiana was for the October 12 edition of "Raw," where 946 made their in-ring debut in a six-man tag team match against The Bloodline. The match ended after Carmelo Hayes interfered, revealing himself as the newest member of 946. Keys added the rowdiest crowd he has faced recently was at a show in Hawaii, which he attributed to the Anoa'i family's connections to the island. The WWE star said even little kids were flipping him off and trash talking him and the rest of 946.
Despite the hate he has received and the love fans have for Reigns, Keys remains focused on his goal of going after "The Tribal Chief" and dethroning him as WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
"My group 946, there's a bunch of us who just feel like we've been held down, you know, so why not go after the top of the food chain, which is The Bloodline? The Bloodline probably is one of the greatest factions to do it all. I feel like, you know, it's trouble," he said.
The two groups will finally settle their differences later this month at Survivor Series, where they will face off in a WarGames match.
