Keanu Carver released by WWE

WWE

NXT star Keanu Carver has been released by WWE according to a new report.

PWInsider have revealed that Carver has now been removed from WWE’s internal roster and is gone from the company.

The 27-year-old, real name Kevin Robertson, was served with an order of protection to prevent him from contacting another unnamed member of the WWE NXT roster. The talent in question filed the petition against Robertson alleging that he had stalked and harassed them after their relationship had ended.

POST Wrestling first reported on the matter, sharing the following details:

The petition alleges that the petitioner and Robertson dated and that the relationship recently ended. In the days that followed the breakup, Robertson allegedly made a series of unwanted visits to the petitioner’s home and made unwanted calls to the petitioner, as many as 44 times in one day.

The 49-page filing includes many screenshots appearing to show calls from Robertson to the petitioner and stills from a security camera outside the petitioner’s home, depicting Robertson’s alleged repeated unwelcome visits.

The protection order is a civil matter. Although stalking is a criminal offense under Florida law, we could not confirm whether any charges will be filed. An official with the local police department told us the case is still pending with the State Attorney’s Office. That office told us the case is being investigated and they could not answer whether charges will be filed.

The petition seeking an order of protection was filed against Robertson on September 14. A judge granted the temporary order of protection the same day. After a hearing on September 22, the court extended the order through the date of another hearing set for October 20. Court records show that Robertson asked for a continuance so he could obtain counsel. The order requires Robertson to stay at least 500 feet away from the petitioner and prohibits him from having any contact with the person.

The petition alleges that Robertson’s conduct led the petitioner to call police on September 13, after Robertson again came to the petitioner’s residence, refused to leave, and made threats to harm himself. Robertson left before police arrived, according to the petition. The petitioner asked the court for the order of protection the next day.

The petitioner alleges that while they were dating, Robertson’s behavior was abusive and threatening. Before they broke up, the petitioner claims Robertson “spat on me, physically restrained me from leaving his house.” The petition continues: “[H]e has threatened to kill me, as well as my cats, he has woken me up by plugging my nose in my sleep, he has grabbed me by my throat multiple times and squeezed hard while threatening to kill me.”

The petition details multiple alleged incidents of unwanted visits and calls after their break-up. The petitioner says that Robertson came to the petitioner’s home on September 4 at 7 a.m., “intoxicated and under the influence of drugs and alcohol.” The petition does not specify what “drugs” Robertson was allegedly using.

On September 8, the filing claims that Robertson again returned to the petitioner’s residence when the petitioner was not there. Robertson allegedly waited at the door. When he found the petitioner in their car, the petitioner tried to put the vehicle in reverse to drive away. He allegedly grabbed the vehicle, said he needed help, and “said he had drugs on him and he saw cops and his phone was 1% and he had no way to get home.” The petition claims Robertson returned to the petitioner’s home later in the night, knocked on the door, and circled the residence “all night long, finally leaving around 8 am or so.”

The next day, on September 9, the petitioner claims Robertson called “a total of 25 times” and came to the petitioner’s residence when no one was home. Robertson allegedly returned again early the next morning at 2:01 a.m. The petition states Robertson proceeded to knock on the door “[a]ll night long” again, and “called my phone from a blocked number, called me on x (FKA twitter), made incoherent sounds, circled my apartment building.”

The filing goes on: “I took video from inside my apartment of him making growling noises outside, and then knocking. I did not answer the door and I pretended I wasn’t home. I then called a mutual friend asking him to come get Kevin from my front door where he was passed out. Several neighbors saw him sleeping outside my door, and one tenant sent a photo and email to the rental office showing him outside my door because she was afraid.”

Around this time, the petitioner set up a security camera at the door of the home, according to the filing. On September 13, the petitioner alleges Robertson showed up again at the petitioner’s home after being told he wasn’t welcome. Robertson allegedly rang the doorbell multiple times. This led to the petitioner making a 911 call. Robertson, at that time, is said to have threatened to harm himself. He left before police arrived, according to the petition, but proceeded to call the petitioner another 44 times over the next two hours.

Keanu Carver signed with WWE in late 2023 and wrestled as recently as a September 12 live event, with his last televised match being a six-man tag team match on the September 9 episode of NXT.
