The shocking twist involving Carlito was the talk of WWE SmackDown.
Throughout the lead-up to WWE WrestleMania 40, speculation was rampant about who would stand by Rey Mysterio’s side against Dominik Mysterio and Santos Escobar. Everyone was betting on Dragon Lee to be Rey’s partner until a backstage assault on the April 5 episode of SmackDown derailed those plans. Andrade stepped in as Rey’s partner when Dragon Lee couldn’t compete and together they secured a victory at the marquee event.
Santos Escobar, who was initially accused of orchestrating the attack on Lee, vindicated himself on the April 26 episode of WWE SmackDown. In the moments following Lee and Rey Mysterio’s tag team triumph over Angel and Berto, Escobar showcased evidence that pointed to Carlito as the actual perpetrator of the attack. As the truth unfolded on the screen, an unexpected assault took place in the ring: Carlito turned on Lee from behind and commenced a second attack before escaping from a stunned LWO.
WWE fans were left in shock over the betrayal and the revelation of the true attacker on SmackDown.
