Update On Robert Stone's WWE Status

With Von Wagner released by WWE in the past few days, many have speculated what this means for Wagner's long-time manager Robert Stone.

Via Fightful Select, last night's NXT Spring Breakin' Night 1 saw Stone used in a new role, serving as a producer for the very first time. Alongside Matt Bloom, Stone co-produced the Fallon Henley vs. Jaida Parker match.

Fightful adds that there are currently no creative plans for Robert Stone to be paired up on-screen with any other NXT talent, suggesting that this could be the start of a full-time transition to a producer role for the 40-year-old New Jersey native. Stone is the latest name to try their hand at producing in recent weeks, following in the footsteps of Pete Dunne and Shawn Spears.

Prior to joining WWE in 2019, the real-life Robert Strauss had been wrestling as far back as 2000, with his most notable success coming during a seven-year spell in TNA as Robbie E. A genuine highlight of TNA programming for a good while, that run saw Robbie win the TNA TV Title, the TNA X Division Title, and have two reigns as TNA Tag Team Champions alongside Jessie Godderz as the BroMans.

In addition to managing Von Wagner during his time in NXT, Mr. Stone has also managed Chelsea Green, Taya Valkyrie, Mercedes Martinez, Aliyah, and Jessi Kamea
