Keanu Carver is reportedly no longer with WWE following the protection order filed against him by another NXT talent. PWInsider’s Mike Johnson reported that Carver, whose real name is Kevin Robertson, has been removed from WWE’s internal roster and is now gone from the company.

The development comes less than two weeks after details emerged about a Florida court order involving Carver. A protection order was filed on September 14 after an unidentified NXT talent alleged that Robertson had stalked and harassed her following the end of their relationship.

The court granted a temporary order that day, and a September 22 hearing extended it through the next hearing on October 20. The order prohibits Robertson from contacting the petitioner and requires him to remain at least 500 feet away.

PWInsider noted that Carver has not been criminally charged as of its latest report. The protection order itself is a civil matter, while the allegations contained in the petition remain allegations rather than established findings of criminal wrongdoing.

Protection Order Filed Against Keanu Carver

The allegations described in the 49-page petition included claims of repeated unwanted visits and phone calls after the relationship ended. The petitioner alleged that Robertson called as many as 44 times in one day, while screenshots and security-camera stills were included in the filing as supporting material.

The petition also alleged abusive and threatening behavior during the relationship, including claims that Robertson spat on the petitioner, physically restrained her, and threatened to kill her and her cats. It further alleged multiple visits to her home in September, including an incident that resulted in a police call on September 13.

Carver appeared to respond publicly after the initial reports surfaced. On September 29, he posted on X, “yall gone sound dumb ash in a month,” followed by, “Fake (expletive) virtue signaling mfs everything done inna dark come to light,” before deleting the posts. He later posted “Keep god first” and subsequently deleted that as well.

Carver began his WWE in-ring career in 2023 and had been working in NXT before the legal matter. His last televised appearance came on September 8, while his most recent known match was at an NXT live event in Lakeland, Florida, on September 12.

PWInsider has now reported that he is out of WWE, marking a significant change from the uncertainty surrounding his status when the protection order was first reported. WWE has not publicly stated that the legal matter was the reason for Carver’s departure, leaving the timing of the decision as the central development for now.
