Carlito returned as Jeff Hardy’s partner against the team of Elias and Jaxson Ryker. This was a continuation of the events of the Rumble match, where Carlito eliminated Elias.
Historically, the Superstar enjoyed making appearances to attack John Cena, but he will have to find another man to fight now. ‘Caribbean Cool’ picked up the win after Jeff Hardy delivered a huge Swanton Bomb on Elias to score the pinfall.
