John Cena Nightclub Fight Storyline, Carlito Cool's WWE Status

* Carly "Carlito Caribbean Cool" Colon developed a good reputation with the other wrestlers in Puerto Rico while working for the World Wrestling Council promotion that was owned by his father. As the longtime top babyface, other wrestlers said that while he was probably over-pushed, he never let it go to his head. The one big question as he enters the WWE will be his inring charisma as he has shown good charisma during the pre-taped vignettes, but that doesn't necessarily translate into good in-ring charisma and mic skills. Realizing that Carlito is somewhat limited in the ring, they have purposely booked him in a program with Chavo Guerrero now that John Cena is headed to film "The Marine" movie in Australia. WWE officials feel that Chavo is talented enough in the ring to help carry Carlito.

* It looks like the WWE has started to explain John Cena's absence from TV while he films "The Marine" in Australia. Jim Ross mentioned on RAW that John Cena was hurt in a nightclub fight after Smackdown last week. This is also expected to set up a feud for Cena when he returns.
