#3 Carlito provides an update on his status and possible WWE return

Carlito received rave reviews for his recent performances at the WWE Royal Rumble and the RAW episode after the PPV. The former United States Champion looked in better physical shape than his first WWE run, and there was an expectation that the company would sign him for another stint.

However, during a recent appearance on The Wrestling Inc.Daily podcast, Carlito revealed that he has no clue about what's next for him regarding the WWE. He has heard nothing about WWE wanting him to be a producer or active performer.

The former WWE IC Champion added that he would love to return and contribute if the idea piques his interest.

"Right now, I don't know where I sit. There was never a trial or something to be a producer backstage or something. None of that was was ever mentioned to me. All we talked about was the Rumble and RAW, and then after that, who knows? But as of now, I'd love to come back. It's all in the air right now. I have no idea what's next for me." said Carlito.

Carlito would like to contribute by helping the up-and-coming talent, and a coach's role at the WWE PC would suit the popular Puerto Rican wrestler.

"I'm open to whatever ideas are out there. As long as it's a good idea, I don't mind. I know I'm a little long in the tooth now. What's the saying? I got more years behind me than ahead of me. I like helping out the new talent and stuff. If somebody's got a good idea, then I'm happy to hear it." said Carlito.

Dave Meltzer had reported in the Wrestling Newsletter that Carlito is not under contract with WWE, and as things stand, he is a free agent.

The 42-year-old wrestler could work out a deal with the WWE, and we'll keep you updated on all the developments about his future.
