Robert Stone discusses his commentary role.
Weekly episodes of WWE Evolve will feature a commentary team of Peter Rosenberg and Robert Stone. This will be a huge step forward for the career of Stone, who occasionally took part in commentary on episodes of NXT Level Up back in 2023.
While speaking with Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful for a new interview, Stone revealed that he is very close to finishing his Master's degree, also saying that he believes he's a perfect fit for the role.
"I have a bachelor's degree and I actually went to college. I didn't finish it, but I'm very close to finishing my master's degree. Even Robbie E. saying the words ‘master's degree,’ the two kind of like don't add up that I was even kind of striving to have something like that. I like to think I'm pretty good with my words and I've always been. So it's kind of like a perfect fit, you know?"
Then, Stone talked about his experience with Level Up, saying that he struggled with it at first.
"So believe it or not, in all the years of independent wrestling and even TNA Wrestling, I maybe once as a guest in-character commentator or something, but I've never even put a headset on. In those 20 years, I had never touched commentary. I guess it was about maybe two years ago now, I filled in on Level Up a few times on Peacock when Byron was in Saudi Arabia or something. Kind of like a two days before thing, ‘Hey, you know, Stone could probably do it. He could fill in the role,’ and doing it in those three times, it was a rude awakening to realize how difficult commentary on this level is, promoting stories and characters and graphics and someone counting you down in your ear was very much like, ‘What is going on? Like what am I doing? This is too much for me.’ So I had to really learn it, but I think I did well. As the show got closer, they just asked if I would be interested. I was, did a few auditions, that kind of thing and the rest is history. Me and Peter, we have some, we have natural chemistry together. So I think we're
gonna be a really good pairing. He's a New York guy, I'm a Jersey guy. There's kind of that we got going on, which some people might hate. But I think we'll have some good banter. But I respect the commentary game. I went into it not realizing how hard it is and there's a lot to it to do it the right way."
