WWE NXT wrestler Keanu Carver has been ordered to stay away from another NXT talent after a Florida court was presented with allegations of stalking, harassment, repeated unwanted visits and dozens of phone calls following the end of their relationship. Carver, whose legal name is Kevin Robertson, must remain at least 500 feet away from the petitioner and cannot contact that person while the order remains in effect.
According to POST Wrestling, the other NXT talent filed the 49-page petition against Robertson on September 14. A judge granted a temporary protection order that same day, and after a September 22 hearing, the order was extended through another hearing scheduled for October 20 after Robertson requested additional time to obtain legal counsel.
The petitioner’s identity is being withheld unless that person chooses to come forward publicly. The protection order is a civil matter, and no criminal charges against Robertson have been confirmed.
The allegations behind the order are serious. The petitioner claims they previously dated Robertson and that his behavior became abusive and threatening before the relationship ended, alleging that he physically prevented them from leaving his home and threatened both the petitioner and their pets.
“[He] spat on me, physically restrained me from leaving his house. [H]e has threatened to kill me, as well as my cats, he has woken me up by plugging my nose in my sleep, he has grabbed me by my throat multiple times and squeezed hard while threatening to kill me.”
Those allegations have not been proven in criminal court. However, the filing claims the problems didn’t stop when the relationship ended and instead turned into a string of unwanted visits and attempts at contact. The petitioner claims Robertson showed up at the residence at 7 a.m. on September 4 while allegedly:
“Intoxicated and under the influence of drugs and alcohol.”
The petition does not identify what drugs Robertson was allegedly using. Things allegedly escalated again on September 8. The petitioner claims Robertson showed up while they weren’t home, then later approached them in their vehicle as they attempted to leave and told them he was stranded.
“[He] said he had drugs on him and he saw cops and his phone was 1% and he had no way to get home.”
The petitioner claims Robertson returned again later that night, knocking and circling the residence:
“All night long, finally leaving around 8 am or so.”
The calls allegedly piled up from there. On September 9, the petitioner claims Robertson called a total of 25 times before returning to the residence again early the next morning. According to the petition, Robertson allegedly spent another night attempting to make contact through several different methods.
“Called my phone from a blocked number, called me on x (FKA twitter), made incoherent sounds, circled my apartment building.”
By that point, the petitioner says a security camera had been installed outside the home. The filing includes screenshots of calls along with still images from the camera that are said to show Robertson making repeated visits. One alleged incident got even stranger when the petitioner claims Robertson made growling noises outside the apartment and eventually passed out near the front door.
“I took video from inside my apartment of him making growling noises outside, and then knocking. I did not answer the door and I pretended I wasn’t home. I then called a mutual friend asking him to come get Kevin from my front door where he was passed out. Several neighbors saw him sleeping outside my door, and one tenant sent a photo and email to the rental office showing him outside my door because she was afraid.”
The situation allegedly reached its breaking point on September 13. The petitioner claims Robertson showed up again despite being told he wasn’t welcome, repeatedly rang the doorbell and threatened to harm himself, leading to a 911 call.
Robertson allegedly left before police arrived, but the petitioner claims the phone started blowing up afterward. According to the filing, Robertson called another 44 times over the following two hours. The petitioner went to court the next day, and the protection order followed.
The matter is now pending with the State Attorney’s Office. Police have indicated the case remains under review, while prosecutors have not said whether criminal charges will ultimately be filed. Robertson has not publicly responded to the allegations, and his X and Instagram accounts under the Keanu Carver name appear to have been deactivated.
For now, the court has drawn a very clear line: Robertson cannot contact the petitioner and has to stay at least 500 feet away. The allegations surrounding how things reached that point remain allegations, but the protection order itself is active and another court hearing is already on the calendar for October 20.
