WWE NXT wrestler Keanu Carver, whose real name is Kevin Robertson, has been legally ordered by a Florida court to avoid contact with another NXT performer who filed an order of protection against him. According to POST Wrestling, the unidentified talent accused Carver of stalking and harassment after their previous romantic relationship ended. The petitioner claimed Carver repeatedly made unwanted visits to their home and placed up to 44 unwanted calls in a single day, alongside threatening and abusive behavior throughout their relationship.
The protection order was requested on September 14 and a temporary order was immediately granted. Reports indicate Carver arrived at the talent’s home on September 13, allegedly threatened self-harm, and refused to leave until police were called. This temporary order remains in effect until the next court hearing scheduled for October 20. While the order of protection is a civil case, stalking is considered a criminal offense in Florida, and police officials have stated that an investigation is ongoing with no word yet on potential charges.
Carver’s last appearance was at an NXT house show on September 12, with his latest televised match on September 8, where he lost a six-man tag match that decided qualification for an NXT Championship contender triple threat. POST Wrestling was unable to confirm Carver’s current employment status with WWE or whether he has access to the WWE Performance Center, as WWE declined to comment on the situation.
