Carlito believes Triple H never understood his character.
The former WWE star was the most recent guest on Chris Van Vliet’s Insight podcast. Among other things, the former US Champion also discussed his abrupt exit from the company last year in June when his contract expired. The wrestling veteran revealed that the officials had actually offered him a three-year deal in 2023, but he opted to sign for two years only because he wasn’t sure how his run would go.
Chris mentioned that being part of the Judgment Day gave him a lot more to do on WWE TV, saying he doesn’t know where the 47-year-old would fit on the show otherwise. Carlito agreed with the sentiment, suggesting that the current creative head Triple H is not a fan of his character:
“Me neither. Yeah, I don’t know, because I’ve never been Hunter’s favorite. I don’t think he gets Carlito or the character. So it is what it is. But I was gonna make whatever I did work. So Judgment Day came by, and it was fun for me.”
Elsewhere in the session, Carlito also revealed that WWE didn’t actually have a plan for his storyline with Raquel Rodriguez and wished that the company had written him off TV with an angle instead of just pulling him from the programming without an explanation.
Apart from this, Carlito discussed celebrity involvement in wrestling, the difference between his first and second run with the company, and more. You can check out his full interview below:
