Rey Mysterio and Santos Escobar were set to team up with Cruz Del Toro or Joaquin Wilde in a six-man tag team match against Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits at tonight’s WWE Fastlane 2023 pay-per-view event.
Cruz and Joaquin were ‘injured’ in storyline during Lashley and Mysterio’s match on last night’s episode of WWE SmackDown. As a result, they were left without a partner for Fastlane. During a backstage segment later in the show, Mysterio stated that he would find a replacement for them, but kept the identity of the replacement a secret.
Since then, there have been rumors that former WWE Superstar Carlito could be returning at tonight’s show to be the mystery partner.
Carlito reacted to a video of the LWO’s segment on SmackDown by writing the following on Twitter:

Former WWE Superstar Carlito may be making a return to the wrestling world at tonight’s WWE Fastlane 2023 pay-per-view event. The speculation arose after Rey Mysterio and Santos Escobar found themselves without a partner for their six-man tag team match against Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits.
During a recent episode of WWE SmackDown, Cruz Del Toro and Joaquin Wilde, who were originally set to team up with Mysterio and Escobar, were “injured” in a storyline. This left Mysterio in need of a replacement partner for the upcoming event. While Mysterio kept the identity of the replacement a secret, rumors began circulating that Carlito could be the mystery partner.
Carlito himself added fuel to the speculation by reacting to a video of the LWO’s segment on SmackDown. He posted a tweet with the hashtag #WWEFastlane, further hinting at his potential involvement in the event.
Fans of Carlito will remember him as a charismatic and talented wrestler who made his mark in WWE during the mid-2000s. Known for his apple-spitting gimmick and catchphrase “That’s not cool,” Carlito had a successful career in WWE before departing from the company in 2010.
If Carlito does make a return at WWE Fastlane, it will undoubtedly be an exciting moment for fans who have been eagerly awaiting his comeback. His presence in the ring could add an element of surprise and nostalgia to the event, as well as potentially pave the way for future storylines and matches.
