Keanu Carver has reportedly left WWE after being removed from the company’s internal roster.
According to PWInsider’s Mike Johnson, Carver, whose real name is Kevin Robertson, is no longer with the company. The report did not provide a reason for his departure.
The update follows earlier comments from Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, who wrote that Robertson had been absent from television and, “according to those within the company may be gone for good.” His last match took place on September 12.
Robertson is also the subject of a temporary order of protection obtained by another NXT talent in Florida. POST Wrestling reported the filing on September 29 and has not identified the petitioner.
The petition, filed on September 14, alleges that Robertson stalked and harassed the petitioner after their relationship ended. The allegations include repeated visits to their home and up to 44 telephone calls in a single day.
A judge granted the temporary order on September 14. Following a hearing on September 22, it was extended until October 20, when a further hearing is scheduled. Robertson is required to remain at least 500 feet from the petitioner and have no contact with them.
The allegations have not been tested in court, and an order of protection is a civil matter. A local police official told POST Wrestling that the case was pending with the State Attorney’s Office. That office confirmed an investigation was ongoing but could not say whether charges would be filed. No charges have been reported.
Robertson did not respond to POST Wrestling’s requests for comment. WWE had not publicly commented when the filing was first reported, and no reason has been confirmed for his reported departure.
On the evening the original report appeared, Carver posted two messages on X that appeared to address it. Both were later deleted.
“Yall gone sound dumb ash in a month”
“Fake a*** virtue signaling mfs everything done inna dark come to light.”
UPDATE:
Keanu Carver was reportedly released by WWE last week, according to a new update from Bryan Alvarez.

The update follows a report from POST Wrestling that a female NXT wrestler had filed a petition for an order of protection against Carver. The petition alleges that he harassed and stalked her after their relationship ended, including making threats against her and her cats.
