Interestingly, Robert Stone was a manager who has recently returned to in-ring wrestling while Ava Raine is a newly inducted performer who is a wrestler turned manager. Stone was ecstatic with the news as he too wanted some in-ring action.

In the clip, Stone says, “So, first of all, I want to say, props and thanks to Ava and the WWE for making this match happen. And by this match, I mean, tomorrow, we’re 24 hours out for me and Von vs. Noam Dar and Oro.”
Though this isn’t his first match, it will be his first match in WWE since his return. He further explained why this match was so special. He said, “This is the first time ever my 7-year-old twins are going to be watching me.” Stone further explained that he would be looking forward to winning the match as the opponents have a 2-0 upper hand over him and Von.

He referenced his sons as a source of motivation for his match by stating how this would be their first live match featuring their father. However, his sons aren’t alone as many WWE fans do not know much about him.
For those who don’t know Mr. Stone, he is a former professional wrestler who wrestled for WWE as Rob Eckos in 2005. He is known for his time at Impact Wrestling. Despite a semi-long career in the indie circuit, he retired from in-ring action early as he found wrestling to be a hard-hitting job. Hence, he turned towards a different role. He came back to WWE in 2019 where he worked as a manager known as Mr. Stone.
