Carlito is not going to wrestle tomorrow at Survivor Series. This week on SmackDown tonight, he came out to address Santos Escobar and his attack on his friend, Rey Mysterio. He was scheduled to defend Mysterio’s honor at Survivor Series this weekend, but now that won’t be happening.
After their heated segment on Friday Night SmackDown, Escobar sneakily attacked Carlito first at ringside, then backstage as well. The attack was so vicious that he ended up getting severely injured. Nick Aldis later informed that he had to cancel the match given Carlito’s unfit situation. He was going to postpone the match, but someone stopped him.

Earlier, when Escobar was attacking Carlito backstage, Dragon Lee showed up and prevented any further damage. Again, when Aldis was about to remove Escobar vs. Carlito from the match card, Lee requested to give him permission to replace Carlito.
Therefore, it’s official now. Tomorrow at Survivor Series Wargames, Dragon Lee will take on Santos Escobar and try to defend his fellow Luchador’s honor by beating Mysterio’s attacker.
