40-year-old released WWE Superstar could return for the first time in 12 years to join The Judgment Day

This past weekend at WWE Backlash, the LWO recruited Carlito, and the former United States Champion proved to be the difference maker for Bad Bunny in his match against Damian Priest.

It was Carlito's return that helped the Rey Mysterio-led stable overcome Dominik Mysterio and Finn Balor. Hence, The Judgment Day could decide that they need to respond in the same fashion.

It's unclear if Carlito will stick around, but these issues must be addressed. If Carlito becomes a problem for The Judgment Day, the villainous faction could recruit one of the Puerto Rican star's old friends.

Chris Masters hasn't been seen in a WWE ring since his release in 2011. But this could be the perfect time for him to make his return and help even the odds in this strange rivalry.

The 40-year-old has made it clear he is open to a return to the company and has been pushing for a Royal Rumble inclusion. But Masters returning as part of The Judgment Day could be much better and would allow him to wrestle some of the best in the business at present.

Carlito's WWE return has already amassed more than two million views on YouTube

Carlito gained one of the biggest pops of the night for his return at Backlash in Puerto Rico. A video showcasing his comeback is doing massive numbers on the company's official YouTube channel. Hence, it's hard to imagine that WWE won't cash in on this and allow him to be part of RAW or SmackDown this week.

The recent Draft changes come into effect tonight on RAW, so it would be the perfect time for The Judgment Day to add a new member to their ranks. This way, the stable can ensure that the LWO don't try to interfere in their business again.

LWO is exclusive to SmackDown and The Judgement Day to RAW, so it's unclear how this feud will play out following the Draft.
