Carlito Has Signed With WWE

Dave Meltzer has a report in the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter on the WWC 50th anniversary show that took place on 6/24 in Bayamon and he confirmed that a former WWE star is returning very soon.

Since WWE Backlash, there’s been a lot of talk about Carlito possibly returning to the company. Carlito has already said that he’s open to working full-time for a major wrestling company and PWInsider reported that he is scheduled for the July 7 SmackDown TV event and he is expected to be part of that brand going forward.

During the write-up about the WWC 50th anniversay show, Dave Meltzer confirmed that Carlito has signed a deal to return. Meltzer wrote, “The fans really wanted Carlito to win, but since he just signed with WWE, he couldn’t. Intelecto is very good for this level but fans were into the old-timers so he wasn’t over. Carlito got a standing ovation after the kissed the ring and Savinovich did tease his going to WWE.”

Carlito was initially pushed as one of the future stars of the company in the mid 2000’s but there were perceived issues with his attitude and/or lack of motivation. Carlito eventually left the company but returned a couple of years ago for an appearance at the Royal Rumble and on Raw the next night. At Backlash in Puerto Rico, he got the biggest pop of the night and that did not go unnoticed by WWE management.
