News On Carlito’s Status With WWE

[Dale]

Carlito is on a three-week trial run with WWE, which started with The Royal Rumble pay-per-view, Wrestling Inc. has learned.

The former Intercontinental Champion returned at the Rumble this past Sunday, which was his first in-ring appearance for WWE since 2010.

According to sources close to the situation, MVP had been pushing for WWE to give Carlito a look as either a wrestler or producer. Triple H eventually gave his approval for the trial run.

The belief is that Carlito will end up signing with the company. PWInsider noted that there has been a lot of internal praise for his work and the shape he’s in since returning.

MVP had also returned at the 2020 Royal Rumble and was hired as a producer. He is now a wrestler who helps informally as a producer.

MVP signed a multi-year deal last August, however we have heard that he is negotiating the deal. His current deal is not set to expire, but his position in the company has grown beyond the scope of what they had originally discussed last year when he returned.

Was a big fan of the dude back during his run, so hopefully he takes this chance. Curious to see where he would slot in though because I don't want him back in a fucking tag team with Primo again.

Yeah, hopefully it goes good. Would love to see him back full time. Dude was pretty entertaining back in the day.

I honestly think Smackdown might be a good place for him. I could see a good Sami Zayn feud.

Dude is in great shape. His work ethic is what held him back the first time; let's see if that's changed

This is what I was going to say. He got very relaxed the last run, which is what cost him a bigger push. Same thing happened with Shelton Benjamin.

Jim Cornette and Bruce Pritchard both said he checked all the boxes that WWE was looking for. He was just lazy.

No one questioned the talent, but backstage the rumor was he was very immature. At the same time people like Randy Orton have been there for years who people say was a nightmare backstage when he was younger.
