Carlito breaks silence following return at WWE Fastlane
Carlito has broken his silence following his surprising return at WWE Fastlane.
Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits were set to battle LWO this past Saturday night at Fastlane. However, The Street Profits attacked LWO on SmackDown ahead of the premium live event, and Joaquin Wilde and Cruz Del Toro were ruled out of the match. Rey Mysterio and Santos Escobar attempted to compete at Fastlane, but the numbers game quickly caught up to them.
Carlito returned this past Saturday night to rescue Santos Escobar and Rey Mysterio during their match against Lashley and The Street Profits. The former Intercontinental Champion evened the odds and planted Montez Ford with a Backstabber for the pinfall victory at Fastlane.
It was Bobby Lashley's first loss in the company since the May 12th edition of SmackDown. The former United States Champion is now a full-time superstar and will be a part of the SmackDown roster moving forward.
The 44-year-old took to social media today following his return at Fastlane and stated that it was good to be home.
