WWE Reportedly Declines Carlito Contract Renewal Following R-Truth Exit

WWE veteran Carlito is set to leave the company as his contract will not be renewed, joining fellow wrestler R-Truth in departing WWE. Carlito, a member of the iconic Colón wrestling family and son of Hall of Famer Carlos Colón, has had a storied career with WWE, including multiple championship reigns and a return sparked by fan enthusiasm in Puerto Rico. His last WWE match was at the 2025 Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal during WrestleMania weekend, and he has recently been active outside WWE, winning the WWC Puerto Rican Championship in Puerto Rico. R-Truth's release, similarly unexpected, was met with widespread support from peers who praised his talent and positive influence backstage. Carlito’s exit marks the end of a significant chapter, but his recent championship win and continued wrestling outside WWE suggest he is preparing for a new phase in his career. Both departures highlight shifts within WWE’s roster and the impact of veteran talents moving on.
