2 WWE Legends Miss Last Night's Raw

Totally, totally not cool.

When WWE first announced that this week’s Raw would be a Legends Night special, the one name who really jumped off the page was the return of Carlito.

Amongst the slew of legends who are seen semi-regularly on WWE programming, the news of Carlito appearing got fans genuinely excited. After all, the former Intercontinental Champion, United States Champion, and two-time Tag Team Champion has only been seen once since departing WWE in 2010 – that appearance coming as his father Carlos Colon was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2014.

Unfortunately, Carlito was one of two advertised names who missed last night’s Legends Night. Both Carlito and Candice Michelle were absent from the Raw offering, which is something that Fightful Select reported shortly before Raw went on the air.

It’s not known why either of these names missed Legends Night, and the Carlito absence is an especially disappointing one – particularly as, at 41 years of age and in phenomenal shape these days, there’s always that hope that the charismatic performer could one day make an in-ring WWE return at some point down the line.
