Carlito says he was made a “terrible” offer by WWE after his 2021 Royal Rumble appearance

While appearing on the Refin’ It Up podcast, former WWE star Carlito discussed past negotiations with WWE. Carlito mentioned how he was made an offer in 2015 and then there was another one after his 2021 Royal Rumble appearance…

“During that time, they offered me a contract but they low-balled me. I think it was 2015. They low-balled me and then, they didn’t even take a counter-offer. They didn’t even call me for the counter-offer. I said, ‘Alright, then, you can go fornicate yourself.’ ‘Well, alright, okay.’

Then after the (2021 Royal) Rumble, they offered me a Legends contract, and it was just a terrible — I gave it to my lawyer, he goes, ‘Bro, don’t even sign this,’ and it was (Mark) Carrano, and he didn’t even call me. This time was by text. So I was like, ‘Okay, I see how serious this is.’ I was like, ‘Alright, thanks buddy,’ and I kept it professional again. I said, ‘No, thank you. I have to pass’ or whatever.” (quote courtesy of Andrew Thompson)
