Backstage Update On Carlito's WWE Status

Having returned to the company at Sunday’s Royal Rumble PPV and then appeared on WWE Raw, there’s now an update on Carlito’s current status with Vince McMahon’s sports entertainment juggernaut.

As per WrestlingINC, Carlito is on a three-week trial with WWE that begun at the Rumble – with this trial seemingly being down to MVP.

The leader of the Hurt Business is said to have been pushing for WWE to bring Carlito back as a wrestler and/or backstage producer, and Triple H eventually agreed to go ahead and give the former Intercontinental Champion, former United States Champion, and two-time Tag Team Champion a shot.

Additionally, PWInsider reports that there has been notable praise for Carlito’s work and for the ridiculous shape he’s gotten himself into these days, and many believe that the 41-year-old will indeed end up formally re-signing with WWE.

His appearance at the Royal Rumble marked Carlito’s first WWE in-ring appearance since May 2010 – although he would appear as his father Carlos Colon was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2014.

Carlito had previously been announced for Raw's Legends Night special in December, although that appearance obviously didn't happen. Now though, it looks as if WWE could well be having an added dose of Cool brought to it once again moving forward.
