SmackDown ring — This WWE star is a popular name backstage

A top WWE name is a bit upset after a recent heel turn on SmackDown. This is none other than Kayla Braxton.

Last year, Carlito returned to the WWE, and it didn't take long for him to side with Rey Mysterio. He was by the Hall of Famer's side when Santos Escobar betrayed him, and he spent the next few months trying to get revenge on Escobar. When Rey added Dragon Lee to the group, Carlito seemed to have gotten brushed to the side. After Lee was mysteriously attacked backstage, Rey still chose Andrade over Carlito.

Tonight on SmackDown, Santos Escobar showed the backstage footage of the assault, which showed that it was Carlito who attacked Dragon Lee. After his jig was up, Carlito shoved Lee into Mysterio and hit him with the backstabber before running away.

Following this heel turn, Kayla Braxton took to social media to express her disappointment at the whole situation.

"Carlito nooooooo!!! Say it ain’t so!"

It looks like Carlito had enough of being neglected by Rey Mysterio and took matters into his own hands. It remains to be seen if Escobar will take advantage of this situation and try to recruit him into the Legado Del Fantasma.

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
