Carlito Departing from WWE After Contract Not Being Renewed

PWInsider’s Mike Johnson reported that his sources stated that Carlito will be departing from WWE once his contract expires soon.

Carlito provided an update earlier today on Twitter confirming that he will be leaving WWE once his contract expires in two weeks due to it not being renewed.

“My contract is up in 2 weeks. It will not be renewed. On top of that, WWE is demanding I pay back the $ they paid me for apparently “stealing money” from the company.

All jokes aside, gracias WWE & especially the WWE universe. Los quiero mucho!

PS…I’ll reappear again in another 13yrs

Dios me los bendiga!
