How things went after the former Universal Champion made his surprising return to WWE Backlash?

On May 6, 2023, wrestling fans across the globe received a surprise from WWE. It was nothing else but the Puerto Rican wrestler, Carlito’s surprise return to the roster as the event happened in his homeland. 

The former Universal Champion made his astonishing entry to aid the American rapper Bad Bunny and Rey Mysterio from The Judgement Day. His quick entry with the theme song pumped up fans already. But little did they know that they were going to witness something more fascinating. 

After taking down Finn Balor and Dominik Mysterio, the veteran pulled off his trademark move. Fans of the Ruthless Aggression Era probably remember how he would always spit on the face of people who he thought weren’t cool. Similarly, he executed the same move on a Judgement Day member at Backlash.
