Rey Mysterio: I Pulled Some Strings To Make Sure That Carlito Got Drafted To WWE Raw With The LWO

That's why Carlito got drafted to WWE Raw.

In the 2024 WWE Draft, Raw selected the LWO, and Carlito was included with the group. This came after Carlito turned on the stable, as he was revealed as Dragon Lee's attacker.

In a Raw Exclusive, Rey Mysterio commented on Carlito's betrayal. He stated that he pulled some strings to make sure that Carlito came to Raw with them.

“The thing that hurts the most about this is that we trusted Carlito. Not just me. All of LWO did, and he betrayed us. He attacked Dragon Lee. Dragon Lee is one of the homies, and he earned his opportunity at WrestleMania. The same way Carlito and I earned opportunities earlier in our careers. But he must have forgot about that. Cathy, I’m gonna let you in on a little secret. I did some work behind the scenes and pulled a couple strings to make sure that Carlito got drafted to Raw with the LWO. It’s time for Carlito to pay for what he did to us. Carlito, it’s time for you to man up and face me in the ring," Mysterio said.

Since moving to Raw, Carlito has aligned with the Judgment Day. He helped Finn Balor and JD McDonagh earn a tag team title shot on the May 13 episode of WWE Raw.
