Robert Stone has been named the interim General Manager of WWE NXT following the unexpected departure of Ava. Shawn Michaels made the announcement during the February 3 episode of NXT on The CW.
Stone, a multi-role performer who has served as a manager, commentator, and backstage official, now transitions to on-air authority figure. He promised to maintain the brand's momentum and not let Michaels down in this interim role.
His history with the brand, including managing talents like Chelsea Green and Riddick Moss and serving in various on-air capacities, positions him as a trusted internal candidate with a strategic understanding of NXT's ecosystem.
As interim GM, Stone will oversee NXT on a week-to-week basis in what is his most significant role to date in WWE.
