With Ava’s departure as NXT General Manager, there was an open spot on yesterday’s broadcast and Shawn Michaels appointed Robert Stone as the interim General Manager.

The 42-year-old has been part of NXT since 2019 and has served both as a manager and also as an assistant to Ava. He also does color commentary for EVOLVE along with Peter Rosenberg.

Ava, real name Simone Johnson, left the company last week and was not mentioned on yesterday’s broadcast.

The eldest daughter of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson raised some eyebrows a few days ago when she posted an anti-US government post on X. She later deactivated her social media account.
