He also said that Carlito never wants to leave the company for first time but that happened and ever since he left he wanted to comeback.
“He’s interested. He’s always been interested. He never really wanted to go the first time. He just needed a break. Things happen, but ever since he left the company he said, ‘My goal is to go back. I just need a breather.’ Everybody gets burnt out.”
Carlito recently made an surprise appearance on WWE Royal Rumble match, in which he entered #8 and eliminated by Damian Priest. He also appeared on following episode of Monday Night Raw and teamed up with Jeff Hardy and defeated Elias and Jaxson Ryker in tag team match.

During the interview, Epico also spoke about Carlito’s recent appearance on WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view and Monday Night Raw. He said that Carlito looks in better shape than 99% boys in WWE and really worked hard for that two matches. Carlito really wants make things right with WWE and wants to back for one last run.
“He’s one of the greatest Latino wrestlers we have got. You guys saw it at the Royal Rumble and RAW. Look at the great shape he’s in. He’s still over, with no people. That just goes to show you how big the WWE Universe is. They remember a guy after 10 years being away, completely away. He’s something special and the future is bright for him. Look at him. He looks better than 99% of the boys in the WWE roster. He really worked hard for that, for those two matches. He really put his heart and soul into the gym. He wants to make things right with WWE and he knows, if that was his last, then he’s happy.” (H/T: SK Wrestling)
