NXT wrestler Keanu Carver, whose real name is Kevin Robertson, is currently under a temporary protective order following allegations of stalking and harassment filed against him by another NXT performer in a Florida court, as reported by POST Wrestling. The petition was filed on September 14, and a judge immediately issued a temporary order preventing Robertson from contacting or approaching the petitioner within 500 feet. After a hearing on September 22, the court extended the order until a subsequent hearing on October 20; Robertson requested a delay in order to secure legal representation.
The petitioner, who has chosen to remain anonymous, claims they had been in a relationship with Robertson that recently ended. The 49-page court document includes evidence such as call logs and security camera stills, showing Robertson repeatedly visiting the petitioner’s residence and making excessive calls—up to 44 times in one day. On September 4, the filing alleges that Robertson appeared at the petitioner’s home at 7 a.m., intoxicated and reportedly under the influence of drugs and alcohol, though specific substances were not detailed.
Further accusations include Robertson returning on September 8 when the petitioner was not home, lingering at the door, and physically grabbing the petitioner’s car as they tried to leave, expressing distress and stating he had drugs on him and had encountered police. According to the filing, he returned that evening and stayed around the home until early morning. On September 9, Robertson allegedly called 25 times and visited the property in the petitioner’s absence. Later that night and into the early hours, he purportedly continued knocking, walking around the apartment complex, and made contact via blocked phone calls and messages on X (formerly Twitter).
The petitioner reportedly recorded video of Robertson making growling sounds by the door and, after refusing to open it, contacted a mutual friend to retrieve him since he had passed out at the entrance. Neighbors reportedly witnessed him sleeping outside and expressed concern to the property management. After installing a security camera, the petitioner says Robertson returned on September 13 despite being barred from the property, repeatedly rang the doorbell, and prompted a 911 call. The petition states that Robertson threatened self-harm, left before police arrived, then made another 44 calls over two hours. The petitioner sought the protective order the following day.
Additionally, the petition accuses Robertson of abusive and threatening behavior during their relationship, including spitting, restraining the petitioner from leaving, making threats against them and their pets, waking the petitioner by obstructing their breathing while asleep, and grabbing their throat while making death threats.
While the protective order is a civil case, stalking is a criminal offense in Florida. POST Wrestling reported no confirmation yet about criminal charges, with local police indicating the investigation is ongoing with the State Attorney’s Office. Attempts to contact Robertson were unsuccessful, and his online profiles, including Twitter and Instagram, have been deactivated. WWE has not released any comment on the situation.
