I think we can cross Carlito off the list off possible surprise entrants for the Royal Rumble this Sunday. The former Intercontinental champion addressed fans who bombard his social media page about his status for the RR:
“[This message is] for those of you that still ask every year if I’m going to be in the Royal Rumble,” wrote the former WWE superstar.
“I’ll put it to you like this. WWE.com still won’t put me on their alumni page. I hope this clears things up for you.” He then added two laughing emojis.
If you’re wondering what the former WWE superstar has been doing since his departure from the company in 2010, Carlito has kept a low-key wrestling career on the independent circuit. It’s possible that the former United States champion could make an appearance as he wouldn’t be the first superstar to downplay rumors of a potential return to the company, but based off the fallout of his release from the WWE, I wouldn’t hold out any hopes of Carlito returning any time soon.
