More Backstage Details on WWE Release of Keanu Carver

As previously noted, PWInsider reported this morning that WWE has released Keanu Carver amid his recent legal issues.

Bryan Alvarez of the Wrestling Observer has since reported to his X subscribers that he’s been told by concerned sources that Keanu Carver was let go by the company last week.

“I am told Keanu Carver was actually released last week,” Alvarez wrote.

Carver, whose real name is Kevin Robertson, was recently ordered by a Florida court to stay at least 500 feet away from a female NXT talent, who filed an order of protection against him last month, accusing the 27-year-old of stalking, harassment, unsolicited visits, and repeated phone calls.

Carver signed with WWE in late 2023 and made his first televised appearance for the promotion in December of that year. He officially joined the NXT roster in January 2026, and the 27-year-old last competed for the promotion during an NXT live event on September 12.
