Triple H Calls Carlito’s WWE Return ‘Long Overdue’ And Looks Forward To Seeing What He Does Now
Triple H comments on the return of Carlito at WWE Fastlane.
Carlito returned at WWE Fastlane 2023 to be the mystery partner of Rey Mysterio and Santos Escobar, the LWO. Carlito scored the win for his team, hitting Montez Ford with the Backstabber and getting his first pinfall victory on WWE pay-per-view since 2009, where he and Primo captured the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania 25 by defeating The Miz and John Morrison.
Triple H spoke about Carlito’s return to WWE very briefly during the post-show press conference. Hunter said that he was glad Carlito was back in WWE, called his return overdue, and said he’s looking forward to seeing what Carlito does in the future.
“The return of Carlito tonight, long overdue and very excited for him. As he would say, ‘That’s cool. You know, just excited to have him back excited to have him back home, and excited to see what he can what he can do on this run,” Hunter said.
