10 Superstars That Will LEAVE WWE In 2022
3. Robert Stone
WWE seemed to enjoy casting Robert Stone as NXT's gormless clown when aesthetic comparisons were briefly being made between him and Tony Khan in 2020, but the charm has long since dissolved from an act that wasn't exactly overspilling with it in the first place.
Stone occupies a difficult space on the black-and-gold brand as neither effective leader nor efficient follower. The Robert Stone Brand is a jobber act and shows need to losers to help people become winners, but the story is almost impossible to tell when it becomes transparent how better a wrestler's career will go when they leave his side.
Truthfully, the character is superfluous, and WWE have let folk go for much, much less. Or, in the case of the recent departures of Ever-Rise and The IIconics, acts who had done a slightly better job of maximising their comedic minutes.
All hope shouldn't be lost though - the former Robbie E would fit nicely on Impact playing a character that combines the best elements from both roles.
