Additionally, it was stated that the response from Carlito’s home crowd was “even better than expected.”
There have been several pitches in recent years to bring Carlito in for short or full-time stints. According to reports as of this past weekend, Carlito’s Backlash appearance was a one-time thing, but anything is possible. Click here for the latest speculation about his WWE future.
This was Carlito’s first appearance since the February 1, 2021 RAW, when he defeated Elias and Jaxson Ryker alongside Jeff Hardy, just a few days after his surprise 2021 Royal Rumble appearance. Carlito joined WWE in early 2003 and was released in May 2010.
