Shotzi Blackheart vs. Aliyah Announced For 7/22 NXT
The Robert Stone Brand will look to avenge Stone’s injured ankle at the hands of Shotzi Blackheart.
On today’s edition of The Bump, Stone announced that Blackheart will take on Aliyah on tonight’s episode of NXT. The match came after Blackheart ran over Stone’s ankle with her tank at the Great American Bash a couple of weeks as a result of Stone unsuccessfully signing Blackheart on as a client. Stone also unsuccessfully tried to sign Rhea Ripley as a client after losing a 2 vs. 1 handicap match at the Great American Bash.

In the days since Stone got injured, his “nurse” has been posting updates on his condition on social media.
This is Robert’s nurse Suzanne. He asked me to post this to his fans. He also wanted me to tell you all he is healing and taking it day by day and doesn’t want anyone to go through what @ShotziWWE put him through. pic.twitter.com/xTdpVzpo16
