Over the weekend at WWE Backlash, the LWO recruited Carlito, and the former United States Champion helped Bad Bunny in his match against Damian Priest. Carlito’s return assisted the Rey Mysterio-led stable in overcoming Dominik Mysterio and Finn Balor, prompting The Judgment Day to consider a similar response. Although it is unclear if Carlito will remain with the group, the faction may need to recruit an ally to help counteract the Puerto Rican star.
Chris Masters’ potential return
Chris Masters has not appeared in a WWE ring since his release in 2011, but this could be an opportune time for him to make a comeback and even the odds in this unique rivalry. The 40-year-old has been open about his interest in returning to the company and has pushed for a Royal Rumble inclusion. However, joining The Judgment Day may be a better fit and allow Masters to wrestle some top talent currently in the business.
Carlito’s successful WWE comeback
Carlito received one of the largest reactions of the night during his return at Backlash in Puerto Rico. A video highlighting his comeback has garnered over three million views on YouTube, making it likely that WWE will capitalize on this success and include him in RAW or SmackDown this week. With the recent Draft changes taking effect tonight on RAW, The Judgment Day might take this opportunity to add a new member to their ranks, preventing the LWO from interfering in their affairs again.
LWO and The Judgement Day’s uncertain feud
LWO is exclusive to SmackDown and The Judgement Day to RAW, so it is uncertain how this feud will develop following the Draft. The outcome may ultimately hinge on whether Carlito stays with the group or if The Judgment Day can successfully recruit a formidable ally like Masters. Nonetheless, fans are eager to see how this rivalry unfolds and whether it leads to a potential return for Chris Masters.
