Keanu Carver, the former NXT competitor whose real name is Kevin Robertson, is scheduled to appear in Seminole County, Florida, court on Tuesday, October 20, in connection with a protective order filed against him, according to Fightful and eWrestlingNews.
Fightful reports that Carver was served with an order of protection that bars him from contacting a contracted NXT talent, whose identity has not been disclosed in the reporting. The order stems from allegations that Carver stalked the talent and engaged in domestic violence against them, per Fightful’s sourcing.
eWrestlingNews, citing its own prior reporting, confirmed that the order of protection was filed on behalf of a contracted WWE talent and that Carver’s upcoming court date is specifically tied to a hearing on that protective order. Neither outlet has identified the NXT talent named in the filing, and no further details of the alleged incidents have been made public.
Carver, who performed under that ring name during his time with WWE’s NXT brand, is now referred to as a former NXT star by eWrestlingNews, though the exact status of his standing with the company has not been detailed in either report. The Tuesday hearing in Seminole County will determine the next steps in the legal proceedings surrounding the order of protection.
Both reports are consistent on the core facts: a protective order has been filed against Robertson on behalf of a current NXT performer, allegations include stalking and domestic violence, and the matter is set to be addressed in court this week. Neither the specific allegations beyond those broad characterizations nor the name of the alleged victim have been confirmed publicly, and WAW will continue to follow the case as it proceeds through the Florida court system.
No further comment from WWE, Carver, or representatives for the NXT talent involved has been reported at this time.
