As reported and that many had predicted, Carlito was the mystery partner for the Latino World Order at Saturday night’s WWE Fastlane PLE. Several reports made the rounds over the past few months that Carlito signed a new deal with WWE, but that the company was waiting on what to do with him creatively.
Carlito entered the match late. Carlito, Rey Mysterio, and Santos Escobar were victorious against Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits.
Below is an excerpt from Mike Tedesco’s WWE Fastlane recap of how it all went down.
Mysterio crawls to his corner, but there is no one there for him. Dawkins pulls Mysterio back and tags Ford in. Ford attacks Mysterio and kicks away at the midsection. Mysterio hits Ford with an enzuigiri that sends him out of the ring. Lashley is not happy with that.
CARLITO’S MUSIC HITS! Carlito runs down and jumps on the apron. He’s the mystery partner. Carlito tags in and clotheslines Ford twice. Ford reverses a whip to the corner, but Carlito knocks Dawkins and Lashley off the apron. Carlito sends Ford into the ropes, but he lowers his head and eats a kick. Ford charges, but Carlito dropkicks him. Dawkins runs in, but Carlito sends him out of the ring. Mysterio hits Dawkins with a seated senton off the apron. Lashley angrily attacks Mysterio, so Escobar hits Lashley with a wild suicide dive. In the ring, Carlito connects with a Backstabber for the win!
Carlito had not been seen in WWE since assisting Bad Bunny to defeat Damian Priest at Backlash back on May 6 in a San Juan Street Fight in San Juan Puerto.
