Former WWE United States Champion Carlito Exits Contract Amid Dispute

Carlito, the former WWE United States Champion, recently had his contract with WWE not renewed, ending his second run with the company. He expressed frustration about the manner in which WWE handled his departure, noting he was given only two weeks' notice and was told not to attend final TV tapings, which he felt was unprofessional for a veteran. Despite this, Carlito maintains a professional attitude, emphasizing that "it's not the end of the world" and is now planning to return to the independent wrestling circuit. He also shared that there is no bad blood between him and WWE, and he could see himself making occasional appearances for the company in the future, favoring short segments or vignettes over a full-time wrestling schedule. Carlito hopes his next wrestling opportunities will treat him with the professionalism he feels WWE lacked at the end of his contract. His departure was not acknowledged on WWE programming, leading to fan disappointment over the lack of a proper send-off.
