Aaron Rift

It was first reported by POSTWrestling.com that WWE NXT wrestler Keanu Carver, whose legal name is Kevin Robertson, is subject to a temporary order of protection following a petition filed by another NXT talent in a Florida court. The petitioner, whose identity was not disclosed, alleges that Robertson stalked and harassed them after their relationship ended.

The petition, filed on September 14th, alleges that Robertson repeatedly made unwanted visits to the petitioner’s home and called them dozens of times, including as many as 44 calls in a single day. The 49-page filing includes screenshots of calls and security camera images that allegedly show Robertson making repeated visits to the residence.

The petitioner also alleges that Robertson was abusive and threatening during their relationship, claiming he physically restrained them, threatened to kill them and their cats, and grabbed them by the throat on multiple occasions. These claims have not been established in court.

According to the petition, the petitioner contacted police on September 13th after Robertson allegedly returned to their home, refused to leave, and threatened to harm himself. Robertson reportedly left before officers arrived. The petitioner filed for an order of protection the following day.

A judge granted a temporary order on September 14th. Following a hearing on September 22nd, the order was extended until another hearing scheduled for October 20th. The order requires Robertson to remain at least 500 feet away from the petitioner and prohibits him from contacting them. Robertson requested a continuance to obtain legal counsel.

The protection order is a civil matter. POST Wrestling reported that the case remains under investigation by the State Attorney’s Office, but it could not confirm whether criminal charges will be filed.

Robertson last appeared on NXT television on September 8th and wrestled at an NXT live event in Lakeland, Florida, on September 12th. POST Wrestling was unable to confirm his current status with WWE. The company did not respond to questions about a possible suspension, an internal investigation, or whether the order affects Robertson’s access to the WWE Performance Center.

POST Wrestling also reported that it had contacted Robertson for comment but had not received a response.
