Dave Meltzer Weighs In On Keanu Carver's Continued NXT Absence
Keanu Carver has not appeared on WWE NXT since an order of protection was filed against him by another NXT talent. The order, granted in September and later extended, bars contact and requires him to stay away from the petitioner. Dave Meltzer reported there is no official word on Carver's WWE status and said he does not expect him to return.
The protection order, granted September 14, bars Keanu Carver (Kevin Robertson) from contacting the petitioner or coming within 500 feet of her. A September 22 hearing extended it through October 20. He has not appeared on NXT since, and WWE has not confirmed his status.
The petitioner said she had ended an abusive relationship with Robertson. Her filing describes repeated calls, late-night knocking, and an incident on September 8, the date of his last televised match, when she says he grabbed her vehicle and later circled her home until morning.
The case may affect how wrestling fans and industry workers view WWE's handling of serious allegations, especially when a performer disappears from television without a public status update. It could also shape how promotions support accusers and address workplace safety. For audiences, the story may prompt broader conversations about domestic violence, accountability, and the pressure on victims who report abuse. Any impact remains uncertain while the order and his WWE status remain unresolved.
