Kevin Isaiah Robertson is an American professional wrestler and college football player. He is best known for his time in WWE, where he performed on the NXT brand under the ring name Keanu Carver.

Early life

Kevin Isaiah Robertson was born in Silver Spring, Maryland and raised in Takoma Park, Maryland. Prior to his wrestling career, he played college football as a defensive tackle for the Temple University Owls from 2019 to 2021, bringing notable power and athleticism to his professional wrestling style.[2]

Professional wrestling career

WWE (2023–2026)

Robertson signed a developmental contract with WWE in late 2023 and made his televised debut on the December 12, 2023 episode of NXT under the ring name Keanu Carver as part of the 2023 WWE NXT Breakout Tournament, where he was eliminated in the first round by Riley Osborne.[3] In 2024, Carver continued to work on NXT Level Up, competing against opponents such as Joe Coffey and Javier Bernal as part of his ongoing development on WWE’s developmental brands.[4][5] In 2025, Carver was a featured competitor on the Evolve brand and participated in the inaugural WWE Evolve Champion fatal four-way elimination match, where he competed against eventual inaugural champion Jackson Drake, Sean Legacy, and Edris Enofé.[6][7]

On January 14, 2026, Carver officially joined the NXT brand as he left an impression as the last man standing in the ring.[8][9] On January 20, an exclusive video of Carver's argument with Booker T surfaced as Booker T berated him for being uncoachable and taking the heel persona too far, with Booker T sitting in silence next to Vic Joseph and guest commentator Ricky Saints. In April, Carver participated in season 3 of LFG.[10] On October 5, 2026, Carver was quietly released from WWE in the wake of allegations of domestic abuse and stalking made against him.[11]

Personal life

Robertson is a fan of the Washington Commanders.[2]

Domestic abuse and stalking allegations

In September 2026, a NXT wrestler, later revealed to be Bianca Carelli (better known as Arianna Grace), filed a petition for an order of protection against Robertson, alleging that Robertson had stalked and harassed her following the end of their relationship.[12][13] The filing also alleged previous instances of threatening and abusive behavior during their relationship. A Florida judge granted a temporary protection order on September 14.[14] Following a September 22 hearing, the order was extended until another hearing scheduled for October 20.[14] Authorities had not confirmed whether criminal charges would be filed. Robertson requested a continuance to obtain legal counsel.[14] On September 29, Carver took to his X account and made two posts which read "yall gone sound dumb ash in a month" and "Fake ass virtue signaling mfs everything done inna dark come to light". He would later delete both of these posts and make a third post, writing "Keep god first" before deleting his X account.
