Carlito made his return to WWE at the Backlash 2023 pay-per-view event in Puerto Rico.

Speaking on a recent episode of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, the WWE alumnus commented on the steps he took to make sure the news didn’t leak out beforehand, and more.

You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

On making his return at Backlash: “It was great, man. It was good, and it was something that they’ve wanted for a long time. It was cool that the secret didn’t get out. I was surprised. I kept thinking, ‘Someone’s gonna leak it at some point,’ but nothing ever came of it so they did not expect that at all that night.”

On how they kept it from leaking out: “I braided my hair and put a beanie on and wore a hoodie. We got in the night before actually and I just went straight to my room. Then the next day people started recognizing me, but word didn’t get out.”
