Keanu Carver Officially Signs with WWE NXT Ahead of Tuesday’s Episode

Another signing just went down—and it’s someone fans have been watching develop for years.

WWE NXT has officially signed Keanu Carver to the brand, with the news breaking on social media just hours before Tuesday night’s show. It’s a full-circle moment for Carver, who’s been grinding through WWE’s developmental system and now gets his official shot on the NXT stage.

Carver first appeared on NXT television in 2023 as part of the NXT Breakout Tournament, where he lost to Riley Osborne in the opening round. That match was his only televised NXT appearance at the time—but it wouldn’t be the last fans saw of him.

In 2024, Carver continued building momentum on NXT Level Up, before becoming a key player for WWE EVOLVE in 2025. He even competed in the first-ever WWE EVOLVE Championship match, signaling that the company saw long-term value in his rise.

Now, with his official NXT contract signed, Carver joins an already energized roster that’s recently added names like Eli Knight and Vanity Project. The timing couldn’t be better, with multiple titles up in the air and NXT General Manager Ava addressing the future of the brand live tonight.

Do you think Keanu Carver will finally break out now that he’s officially part of WWE NXT? Let us know what role you see him playing on Tuesday nights.
