Triple H and the WWE creative team had to deal with an awkward moment during the October 21 episode of Monday Night RAW. The incident involved Carlito of The Judgment Day, IYO SKY, and Kairi Sane of Damage CTRL.
SKY and Sane had a segment with RAW General Manager Adam Pearce and started speaking Japanese once they left the room. At the same time, Carlito entered the room and said, 'I gotta learn Chinese' before starting his segment with Pearce.
This line got a lot of negative reactions from fans and people backstage, who considered it a racist remark since both IYO and Kairi are Japanese. The question to that was whether it was scripted or the 45-year-old wrestler decided to go off script.
According to reports from Fightful, Carlito went off script, but there has been no update on whether Triple H plans to sanction him for his remark. So far, none of the WWE stars involved have addressed the incident, and the report suggests that there is no information regarding any heat between Carlito and people backstage.

Triple H and WWE had to edit the respective video clips and remove the line before uploading them on the official social media accounts and YouTube.
What plans does Triple H have for Carlito going forward?
Carlito has been part of The Judgment Day for months now but has no direction at the moment. He is the only member of the faction not involved in a storyline at the moment and is considered a weak link.
Thus, Triple H and the creative team might consider having the 45-year-old leave The Judgment Day and get a push in singles competition. On that occasion, he could have a face turn and seek revenge on The Judgment Day either in a single run or by challenging Finn Balor and JD McDonagh for the Tag Team Titles on RAW.
If he is to leave The Judgment Day, Carlito might not stay on RAW but move to SmackDown, where he could get involved in new storylines by getting a title opportunity or joining another faction, like Santos Escobar and Legado Del Fantasma.
