Former Intercontinental Champion Carlito has clarified his perspective on his future professional wrestling career following his departure from WWE.
The veteran performer indicated that he is not actively pursuing another full-time television contract, expressing satisfaction with his current schedule on the independent circuit.
While talking to Hitting the Turnbuckle Podcast, Carlito was questioned regarding his future in the industry and his upcoming plans for independent bookings. Rather than outlining a strategy to sign with another major wrestling promotion, he emphasized a relaxed approach to his career.
“Um yeah, I’m just whatever the future is, I don’t really know what the future is,” Carlito stated.
He further explained that while he remains open to new opportunities as they arise, he is prioritizing the personal freedom that comes with working outside a major corporate structure.
“Like I said, I’m happy where I’m at. I’m open to whatever. At the same time, I’m enjoying life the way it is and uh no uh no rush to be anywhere,” Carlito added. “And uh you know I kind of enjoying enjoying the road right now.”
Life After The Judgment Day and Potential UK Dates
These statements follow the conclusion of Carlito’s latest WWE tenure, where he was prominently featured as a member of The Judgment Day stable. He previously noted that opting for a shorter contract duration ultimately concluded his run with the company earlier than expected.
Despite the exit, he has consistently accepted independent wrestling bookings and dismissed the idea of dwelling on past corporate decisions.
Earlier in the podcast interview, the topic of a potential return to the United Kingdom to challenge for an independent championship was raised. Carlito responded favorably, joking about his remaining longevity in the ring.
“Sure, why not? Let’s just we got a I got a couple left in me at this point still.”
When the interviewer later suggested a specific title challenge, Carlito joked about tracking the title scene to find the most advantageous matchup possible.
“Let me know when the when the weakest champion has the belt and I’ll go, so.”
