Another possible surprise entrant at WWE Royal Rumble 2021 could be Carlito. The former United States and Intercontinental Champion, Carlito has been in news recently as WWE advertised his return for the RAW Legends Night. However, that never happened and the company abruptly deleted all the social media posts about his return as well.

In a report following the show, it was revealed that Carlito was not interested in traveling all the way to Florida for a two-minute cameo. However, he also stated that he would be happy to come and wrestle.

"I was told Carlito found out he was just getting a cameo, and said ‘Hey, but thanks, when you want me to come wrestle or do something, I’m happy to do it. I don’t want to travel across the country, just to do a 2 minute cameo,'" said Johnson. (h/t HeelByNature)

Watched RAW Legends Night almost solely to see Carlito again. Advertised but didn’t appear. Instead we get Goldberg. Again. Christ. Here’s hoping they’re saving Carlito for the Royal Rumble anyway. pic.twitter.com/fKCPFiAdAC

While Carlito didn't return on RAW Legends Night, he might just be one of the surprise entrants at WWE Royal Rumble 2021. Last year, we saw MVP return at the Royal Rumble and has since done a great job on RAW by forming The Hurt Business. Carlito could also do the same this year.
