Legend man. Taking his time out to commit to stuff like this, nothing but respect

Carlito last appeared at WWE men’s Royal Rumble in 2021 when the company was in its Thunderdome era. Therefore, we didn’t get to hear a proper pop for the former US Champion in 2021. But this time, Triple H made the right call booking his return at the PLE in Puerto Rico in this highly anticipated match.
