Mr. Stone is focused on leading his clients to the world title picture.
Stone, who had a prominent run in TNA/IMPACT as Robbie E, has been wrestling for over 20 years. However, since he signed with WWE in 2019, he has only wrestled four times. he last wrestled at an NXT live event in February 2023. That being said, he has been featured as a manager on NXT. Stone led the Robert Stone Brand, and he is currently Von Wagner's manager.
Speaking with Nick Hausman for Haus of Wrestling, Stone was asked about his future as an in-ring competitor. He stated that he could lace up his boots once a year, but he's focused on leading others to the world title picture.
“If I gotta lace up my … now it wouldn’t even be wrestling boots, maybe wrestling shoes? Or like dress shoes turned into wrestling boots? Whatever it would be that I would have to lace up, if I had to lace them up one time a year, maybe this body could still, kind of, hold up to that. I’m more focused on getting guys to the world title picture and pushing them to the moon as opposed to pushing myself. If I gotta do it once in a while, I will. It would be cool, you know, I have six-year-old twins. I think they would get a kick out of watching me just get destroyed and beat up and thrown around the ring," Stone said.
As of this writing, there is no word on when Stone will wrestle again.
