Keanu Carver Walks Out of NXT Sit-Down Interview After Explosive Exchange with Blake Howard

Keanu Carver’s situation on WWE NXT just got a lot more volatile—and it all unraveled during a sit-down interview that aired on the January 20 episode.

Following a segment earlier in the night where unaired footage from LFG revealed that Carver had been kicked off the show after an argument with Booker T, things went from tense to outright explosive in a follow-up interview with NXT’s Blake Howard. Carver was visibly agitated from the jump, making it clear he didn’t want to be there.

“The only reason I'm here right now is because they made me be here,” Carver said, barely hiding his frustration.

Blake tried to steer the conversation toward Carver’s future, noting that he’ll be competing next week in a qualifier for the six-man ladder match to crown a new NXT Champion. But that didn’t go over well.

“I'm not gonna hold you, but I'm not answering none of your dumbass questions,” Carver fired back.

Things completely unraveled when Blake brought up Carver’s absence from NXT TV since the 2023 Men’s Breakout Tournament and hinted at possible disciplinary issues.

“What the hell are you talking about, bro? Don't test me,” Carver snapped, before storming out of the interview.

The walkout capped off a night of storytelling that blurred the lines between LFG drama and NXT programming. From being ejected off-camera to walking off mid-interview, Carver’s character arc is spiraling in real time—and it’s clear this story is far from over.
