Carlito recently spoke to Wrestling Inc for an interview and talked about his first run with WWE and how he was frustrated at the time, as well as, if AEW has spoken to him.
Carlito had this to say about the dark place he was in at the time:
“Even when I wasn’t wrestling for WWE, I was wrestling for my father’s promotion [World Wrestling Council]. I was on the road all the time, from one airport to the next plane. It sounds great to everyone at first. But when you’re traveling all the time, you start to enjoy your time at home more. But, of course, I wasn’t enjoying my time at home, either. I was just in a dark place and needed to get away. I don’t know if I needed to get away for ten years, though [laughs].”
Carlito commented on getting out of his dark place 2-3 years following his WWE exit:
“I finally had time to just sit and breathe, everything just slowed down for me. I was able to analyze everything, bide my time, and focus on myself. I didn’t have to be anywhere, which was great. I could also set some goals to set myself right.”
Carlito lastly answered if he has spoken to All Elite Wrestling:
“While nobody from AEW has reached out, people from Impact Wrestling and NWA have reached out. There is a lot of interesting places to go right now. So, we’ll see what the future holds.”
