The Return of a WWE NXT Manager Turned Competitor: A New Chapter Unfolds
In a surprising twist, a familiar face from the WWE NXT managerial ranks is poised to make a remarkable comeback to in-ring competition after an extended hiatus.
Von Wagner, predominantly known for his managerial role, is preparing to step back into the squared circle for a highly anticipated tag team match scheduled for next week.
The decision for Wagner to return to in-ring action came following a recent setback in an NXT Heritage Cup Championship bout against Noam Dar.
A backstage conversation between Wagner and Dar revealed the catalyst for Wagner’s frustration: an incident involving Meta-Four’s disrespectful behavior towards Mr. Stone’s children, who were present at ringside.
Mr. Stone’s empathy towards Wagner’s concerns played a pivotal role in shaping the events that followed.
In a touching moment, Mr. Stone’s children made a cameo appearance in a pre-taped segment, urging their father to team up with Von Wagner for a tag team match. Despite initial reluctance, Robert Stone ultimately agreed, moved by the heartfelt pleas of his children.
While Robert Stone boasts a storied career in independent wrestling, his in-ring appearances within WWE NXT have been few and far between. With only two matches under his belt in 2023 and 2021 respectively, 2022 saw no in-ring action from the seasoned manager.
Fans may recall Stone’s memorable encounter with Rhea Ripley in 2020, where he and Aliyah faced off against Ripley in a high-stakes bout.
As anticipation mounts for Stone’s return to the ring alongside Von Wagner, excitement permeates the NXT landscape ahead of their clash with Noam Dar and Oro Mensah. This unexpected turn of events marks a significant chapter in Robert Stone’s journey, as he embarks on a new phase that promises thrills and surprises for fans and competitors alike.
