Keanu Carver removed from WWE roster, reports say

Keanu Carver, whose legal name is Kevin Robertson, has left WWE after being removed from the company’s internal roster, according to reports by PWInsider and Ringside News. Mike Johnson of PWInsider reported the roster removal on Monday, following earlier reports from Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Robertson had been absent from television and was believed by individuals within the company to be gone permanently.

Arianna Grace Files Protection Order Against Robertson

POST Wrestling first reported on September 29 that a temporary order of protection had been filed against Robertson by another NXT talent in Florida. Ringside News subsequently reported that the petitioner is Arianna Grace, whose real name is Bianca Carelli. According to the court petition filed on September 14, Robertson allegedly stalked and harassed Carelli after their relationship ended, with the filings citing incidents such as repeated visits to her home and as many as 44 phone calls in a single day. Court records also include text messages in which Carelli instructed Robertson to stop contacting her, leave her residence, and respect her boundaries.

A judge granted a temporary protection order on September 14, requiring Robertson to remain at least 500 feet away from Carelli and have no contact with her. Following a court hearing on September 22, the order was extended through October 20. The allegations have not been tested in a court of law, as an order of protection constitutes a civil matter. A local police official informed POST Wrestling that the case is pending with the State Attorney’s Office, which confirmed an ongoing investigation but stated it could not determine whether criminal charges would be filed. As of October 5, PWInsider reported that Robertson has not faced any criminal charges.

Robertson Competes in NXT and WWE Evolve

Robertson joined WWE in 2023 after playing college football as a defensive tackle at Temple University. He made his television debut for the NXT brand in December 2023 during the NXT Breakout Tournament, where he was defeated by Riley Osborne in the opening round. In June 2025, he competed in a Fatal Four-Way match to crown the inaugural WWE Evolve Champion, which was won by Jackson Drake, and he appeared on season three of WWE LFG earlier this year. According to Cagematch data, his final match took place at an NXT live event in Lakeland, Florida, on September 12, where he defeated Brad Baylor.

Following the initial publication of the protection order reports, Carver appeared to address the situation in two posts on X that were subsequently deleted. The posts stated: Yall gone sound dumb ash in a month and Fake a*** virtue signaling mfs everything done inna dark come to light. Robertson did not respond to requests for comment from POST Wrestling.

WWE Does Not Confirm Robertson Release

A further civil court hearing in the protection order case is scheduled for October 20. While multiple industry outlets report that Robertson is no longer with WWE and has been removed from internal listings, company officials have not publicly confirmed his release or commented on the reasons behind his departure, and law enforcement authorities have not announced any formal criminal charges.
