Powerhouse Hobbs, the now former dominant AEW star, has reportedly signed with WWE and is expected to adopt the new ring name Royce Keys. And while some fans have questioned the decision to rename Hobbs under this new identity, it appears the choice carries personal significance, as Royce is Hobbs’s son’s name. This was discovered by fans digging through Hobbs’ past tweets, where he acknowledged his son in 2021, whom he also calls Bam Bam.
Professional wrestlers often choose ring names with deep personal connections to family. Former AEW star Mariah May, now in WWE NXT as Blake Monroe, honors her niece Blake, with whom she shares cherished childhood memories of watching WWE together, while “Monroe” nods to her idol Marilyn Monroe. Similarly, Kevin Owens (real name Kevin Steen) adopted “Owens” to honor his son, Owen Steen, whom he named after wrestling legend Owen Hart, blending familial love with wrestling fandom.
