UPDATED: Carlito Told Promoter He’s Signed With WWE, Cancels Indie Dates

UPDATE: There are more signs that Carlito may be heading back to WWE, as he’s reportedly pulled out of multiple upcoming indie bookings. As noted earlier, Carlito is reported to have backed out of Devon “Hannibal” Nicholson’s July 15th show. Now, Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp reports that Carlito has pulled out of multiple upcoming bookings and not just the ones Nicholson is promoting.

Fightful noted that as of now, Carlito is still set to appear at AIW Over The Line on Saturday, though that booking is simply an appearance and not a wrestling match.

ORIGINAL: Carlito made a surprise appearance at WWE Backlash last month and if the rumors are true, he could be showing up more often. In today’s Wrestling Observer Radio, it was noted that Carlito allegedly told an independent promoter that he had signed with the company.

Dave Meltzer reported that according to Canadian promoter Devon Nicholson, the former Intercontinental Champion called to inform him he would be backing out of a July 15 event. Carlito noted that his joining WWE was the reason why.
