Carlito surprised the fans with a massive return at the 2021 Royal Rumble. WWE booked the former United States Champion to appear at Raw Legend’s night but he couldn’t due to late travel issues.

To make up for his absence, the Superstar made an amazing return at the Rumble, putting on an exciting performance. On Twitter, the cocky Superstar responded to the hate he received for returning.

This hate comes off the back of Goldberg challenging for the WWE Championship and Edge winning the Royal Rumble. Despite the locker room morale being very high, former WWE writer Vince Russo has predicted that the morale will reduce severely. Using old talent instead of the current crop of stars is often frowned upon in the internet wrestling community.

The Puerto Rican sensation responded to the negative feedback, saying he might ‘quit while he’s ahead’. We definitely do not want to see him leave the WWE soon.

Carlito is a prime scalp for WWE, and he looks absolutely shredded. He might not need to challenge for a WWE Championship or a mid-card championship, but the charismatic Superstar can be part of some interesting storylines.

From rehashing an old rivalry to welcoming NXT talent to the main roster, there are many potential feuds for Carlito. Right off the bat, a singles match with Elias should be in the future, especially since he was eliminated by Elias in the Royal Rumble.

A United States Championship match against Bobby Lashley will be a good way for Carlito to establish himself as a top player. Lashley will also benefit from this match, knocking off another former US Champion will be a good rub.

One of the most exciting match-ups for him is against the Original Bro. Matt Riddle and Carlito’s gimmick is quite similar, apart from one being a face and the other a sniveling heel. Give these men twenty minutes and let them work their magic.
