The stable name for the new alliance between Royce Keys and OTM that debuted on this week’s WWE Raw has been revealed.

To close out this week’s WWE Raw, a new faction debuted by attacking the Usos, Solo Sikoa and LA Knight, that being the returning Royce Keys and the debuting Bronco Nima and Lucien Price of OTM from NXT.

The group laid waste to all four men, with Michael Cole mentioning on commentary that Keys and OTM had stories from ‘the hood in Oakland’.

WWE Trademarks ‘946’ For Royce Keys & OTM

Today, it was revealed that WWE had filed the trademark for the term ‘946’ for use in professional wrestling.

False Finish has confirmed that the name will be used for the group, with ‘946’ being a reference to a zip code from Oakland, California, the very place Cole made sure to mention during the group’s debut on Raw.

Royce Keys has shown a lot of potential since he arrived in WWE earlier this year, with him rubbing shoulders with names like the Bloodline in short order after winning the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.

Keys instantly showed more character in one night this week on Raw than he has the past six months as a babyface, with the group already off to a hot start after a major debut on this week’s show.
