Carlito made an appearance on the latest episode of Insight With Chris Van Vliet to discuss a wide range of topics, including why he never went to AEW before signing with WWE full-time in 2023 and more. Here are the highlights:
On working in front of no crowds during his 2021 Royal Rumble return: “There was no crowd. Yeah, it was weird, but I know through the internet and stuff, you could see and kind of feel what was going on. And then the Raw, too, was the same thing. No crowd. And then I didn’t come back till 2023, and then the crowds were there. Yeah, so that’s kind of my first experience back with the crowd. That’s what you kind of start to feel like, Man, that was, yeah, this is pretty cool. I wish I could do this again.”
On whether he ever considered signing with AEW: “I have a thing with loyalty, you know. I mean, I’ve only ever been a WWE guy, so I always kind of liked that, you know, just being a one-company guy. So, I mean, as long as they’ll have me, you know, I’d try to stay loyal to WWE as long as I could, and hopefully, I would honestly like to end my career with them.”
