WWE Releases Keanu Carver

Keanu Carver (real name Kevin Robertson) is gone from WWE, having been released by the organisation.

Carver's departure from WWE was first reported by PWInsider, and Bryan Alvarez of the Wrestling Observer has noted the belief amongst people within WWE NXT is that Carver was released at some point last week.

Carver's release comes after an NXT wrestler filed an order of protection against him on September 14, with a temporary order of protection being granted that day. The order was extended until October 20 on September 22, with the order requiring Carver to remain 500 feet away from the petitioner and blocking him from any contact with them.

The petitioner, who had been in a romantic relationship with Carver, alleged that he made a series of unwanted visits to their home following the end of the relationship and made unwanted calls to them, including as many as 44 calls in one day. Carver was also accused of domestic abuse and threatening to kill them and their cats.

Keanu Carver signed with WWE in June 2023, having been an American football defensive tackle at Temple University from 2019 to 2021. Carver made his TV debut in the 2023 NXT Men's Breakout Tournament, losing in the first round to Riley Osborne. Carver was then utilised on NXT Level Up and EVOLVE before he became a regular on NXT TV in January 2026.

Carver's final WWE match took place on September 12 at an NXT house show. His final televised match was held on September 8 and saw Carver team with Cruz Montana and EK Prosper in a loss to Mason Rook, Saquon Shugars, and Tony D'Angelo.
