Carlito’s work and the shape in which he is currently, has received much praise backstage. A report on PWInsider suggested that Carlito is yet to sign a contract with WWE. But it is a mere formality now, as both the parties are clearly interested in working together.

Carlito lasted in the Royal Rumble match for 8 minutes. He was eliminated by Elias. The next day, Elias faced Carlito on Monday night Raw in a tag team match. While Elias teamed up with Jaxson Ryder, Carlito teamed up with Jeff Hardy. Hardy and Carlito emerged victorious in the match.

Carlito is currently on a three-week trial with WWE. He will be appearing on the Red brand during this period. If his appearances are liked by the audience, WWE will sign him on a permanent basis.

A similar trial was done with MVP, when he appeared for the company during 2020 Royal Rumble. He was later signed as a backstage producer and ultimately as an on-screen talent. As of now, Carlito is receiving tremendous praise for his work, and we might see him regularly on WWE TV.
