Sign a guy with zero plan even months later.

Have him be a mentor for Theory. “You suck but I’m going to teach you how to be cool!”

Have him win the tag titles with Cena for no reason.

They’ve apparently signed a bunch of talent like AOP and aren’t debuting them until after the merger is closer to finalized. Not sure the reasoning.

Carlito versus Jimmy Uso could be a good little piece of business.

Maybe he needs to cycle off whatever HGH/steroids he's likely on before he starts the taking Wellness tests.

Crazy to see some ruthless aggression era returns like Carlito, Lashley, MVP, John Morrison (though gone again) and Shelton Benjamin after so many years. Was hoping to see Mr Kennedy again but doubt that’s ever happening.

Carlito could have had a pretty easy plan being aligned with LWO or even feuding with Judgment Day... like Backlash set that up extremely well
Seems baffling they've had him signed this long and won't commit to a story

Surprised they didn't just stick him in the LWO I wouldn’t hate it. But he’d have to be a bit of a rogue character within in. He’d probably be best paired up with one or a couple people. And bring back his talk show!

Like it seems he can book 20-25 wrestlers in a small environment well, but a roster of 75+ talents and 2 TV shows a week with 5 hours of content? Not so much. Seems only 10-15 people matter right now in H's world.

Yeah, I feel like this is less "they don't know what they're doing" and more "we're holding on debuting new hires until after the merger" bc they think it's a bad look to sign people and then go layoff a ton of office staff. My guess is post-merger we'll see folks like Aldis, AOP, Nia, Kairi and Carlito, to name a few. SRS says the WWE has more than a couple of folks 'secretly signed.'

Let’s hope he’s matured greatly and he is open to working as a face for a long while if the situation calls for it.

I remember when he turned face in 2006, by around Unforgiven of that year, he was bringing his work boots and had some pretty good matches around that time. It felt like he was motivated turning face that year.
