The group that closed Monday’s Raw had been planned for a few weeks, according to False Finish.
Raw’s main event on August 24 saw LA Knight and Solo Sikoa team against The Usos. Royce Keys ran in and speared Jey Uso and Sikoa through the barricade, and OTM’s Lucien Price and Bronco Nima attacked Jimmy Uso and Knight in the ring, ending the match in a no contest. The three beat down all four men to end the show.
Per the report, the internal response to the trio was “very positive” despite a mixed crowd reaction to the debut.
Keys had been off WWE television since the post-SummerSlam Raw, where Jacob Fatu beat him and attacked him afterward. Price and Nima had been featured in NXT, and Nima was also part of Los Perros del Mal in AAA. The plan had reportedly been for Nima to stay in the AAA group long term, but he was kicked out on the August 22 episode of AAA television.
