- We all remember Carlito—the apple-biting, colorful trunks wearing, Caribbean King of Cool from his stint in the WWE between 2004 and 2010. When Carlito, real name Carly Colon, was released from his contract for a violation of the company's drug testing program and subsequent refusal to attend a rehabilitation facility for a reported addiction to painkillers, many doubted the possibility we'd see his lively character back in a WWE ring anytime soon.

But according to former WWE creative writer Court Bauer and Konnan on MLW Radio, perhaps a return to the company may be on the cards for Colon in the near future. It’s no secret that WWE has been looking for a Hispanic star to help expand into that market, and Carlito could be the guy they are bringing in for that purpose. But before fans of the Bad Apple get their hopes up though, it is also noted that Colon is enjoying his time wrestling independent circuits and also works for his father’s WWC promotion in Puerto Rico. We might see Caribbean King of Cool persist with his individual aspirations. He was last seen on WWE TV at the 2014 Hall of Fame ceremony where his father Carlos Colon was inducted.
It’s been reported on numerous occasions how WWE officials are looking to bring aboard more Hispanic stars, especially following the departures of key figures in Rey Mysterio and Alberto Del Rio. Also there are no Hispanic talents currently training at the WWE Performance Center.
