#4 Carlito returned to WWE RAW after Royal Rumble

Several legendary Superstars made an appearance during the WWE Royal Rumble. However, only one man made it to WWE RAW following a surprise return. Victoria, Torrie Wilson, and Christian were some of the big names who made their way into the Royal Rumble matches. Carlito was one of the biggest surprise returns during the night, and WWE decided to give him a match on RAW.

Carlito did not compete alone as he was teamed up with another veteran, Jeff Hardy. The two men faced Elias and Jaxson Ryker on RAW in a tag team match. Carlito impressed early with a technical exchange in the match.

Hardy came in and Ryker helped Elias gain control in the match. After Elias and Ryker worked over The Charismatic Enigma for some time, The King of Cool got the hot tag. He hit the Backstabber on Elias before Hardy picked up the win for his team by hitting the Swanton Bomb.

The match was short but it allowed fans to watch Carlito in the RAW ring again. He appeared on WWE TV after almost a decade and teamed up with a top babyface to pick up the victory.

Carlito will hopefully get some more opportunities going forward just like MVP did after his Royal Rumble return.
