Former WWE Intercontinental Champion Carlito made his return to WWE at Fastlane last weekend.
Carlito was revealed as the third member of the LWO’s team against Bobby Lashley and the Street Profits on the show, pinning Montez Ford to win the match for his team.
Carlito made his return in a six-man tag team match, and he’s yet to take part in his first singles match back in the company, in what would be his first singles match for the company in 13 years.
Speaking to Ringer Wrestling’s Cheap Heat podcast, Carlito discussed his return to the company, and him having nerves ahead of his first singles match back.
He said:
“Probably a little bit (of nerves will be there when I have my first singles match back in WWE). I assume yeah. It’s the first match in… my first singles since, my God, who knows how many? 13 (years) at least. A little pressure. I wanna do good for a first match, but I’m gonna pace myself. I don’t wanna come out the gate trying every trick I got just to prove I still got it so I just — I think it’ll be more or less contained, but, it’ll be a little bit of nerves.”
Carlito also discussed how he believes a miscommunication about him being ‘anti-WWE’ following his departure delayed his return to the company.
