Backstage, Santos continued to attack Carlito and targeted the arm. Dragon Lee ended up making the save for Carlito.
In a later segment, Smackdown general manager Nick Aldis said Carlito was in no condition to wrestle against Santos at Survivor Series. Lee then approached Aldis about taking Carlito’s spot and Aldis approved it.
