In an era of wrestling where nostalgia often runs hand-in-hand with new talent, there's perhaps no better example of a fan-favorite return than the recent reemergence of Carlito, the former WWE Intercontinental Champion.
Apparently, Carlito's recent comeback was not simply a one-off nostalgia-fueled appearance, but rather, a strategic re-entry into the WWE, which is exciting news to fans and industry insiders alike. The Caribbean Cool, who initially worked for WWE from 2003 to 2010, has reportedly inked a new deal with WWE.
Now, according to PWInsider Elite (as per WrestlingInc), Carlito is all set to spit on people's faces with his chewed-up apple when he makes his return on the July 7 episode of SmackDown, taking place at the famed Madison Square Garden in New York City.
The Puerto Rican star's road back to WWE was paved with surprises and speculation. His reappearance at WWE Backlash in early May, where he helped Grammy-winner Bad Bunny triumph over Damian Priest in a San Juan Street Fight, was nothing short of electrifying. The hometown crowd in Puerto Rico met his surprise entry with a thunderous ovation, cementing his popularity and sparking rumors about a potential return.
