You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

On wanting to challenge Matt Cardona for the Indie Iron Throne: “Look, it’s a Game of Thrones out here on the indies, and if I want to sit on the indie Iron Throne, I got to take out the king, and that’s Matt Cardona. So, yeah, there can only be one king. I’m willing to fight Matt Cardona to the death for that title.”

On her matchup at GCW Tournament of Survival X: “It was my first match back on the indies, and I just wanted to make some noise for my first one back. And I just thought, okay, I want the most non-WWE match ever. Like, I want to wrestle men, and I wrestled the GCW death match champion and Jimmy Lloyd, who is insane. We kicked each other’s butts.”

During a recent appearance on the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, free agent Carlito discussed his recent run in WWE and expressed his belief that the situation has improved since Vince McMahon stepped down.

Carlito also spoke about enjoying his last year with the company. He was released from his contract earlier this month.

On how things were different for his latest WWE run with Vince McMahon no longer in charge: “It was weird, showing up to work happy. It was just all the tension and all the old school bulls***. … I don’t mean to knock on Vince [McMahon] but he’d have his certain things you’d have to do this way, and then the next day it would change. Certain rules, just stupidity. They liked people walking around on eggshells, because it was the only game in town and they liked the boys knowing that.”

On how talent is treated better now: “I just like that a bunch of that B.S. is gone now, and people just go there, show up, and do their work. What can I complain about? I had a blast those last few years. Especially that last year.”
