Carlito Wins WWC Puerto Rico Championship before WWE Exit

⁤ ​ Updated June‍ 03, 2025

Carlito, a Judgment Day member soon departing WWE, has clinched the WWC puerto Rico ⁢Heavyweight Championship.This marks his second time‍ holding the title. He defeated Ray Gonzalez at WWC Summer Madness 2025 in Puerto ​Rico to secure the championship, a title he ‌first won ‌11 years ago.

The match marked ⁣Carlito’s first appearance in WWC, owned by his father Carlos Colon, as 2023. WWE Raw General Manager Adam⁢ Pearce granted Carlito permission to participate ⁣in the‌ Puerto Rican event.

Carlito recently revealed that WWE would not be renewing his ‍contract. He, along with R-Truth, are expected to leave‌ the promotion as their⁤ contracts expire.‌ Carlito’s presence⁣ in Judgment Day⁣ segments had been consistent until recently.

Reports indicate that ‍WWE’s decision not to renew Carlito’s contract⁤ stems from the recent signing of new⁢ talent⁤ and budget constraints.

His last WWE television appearance was at the Andre⁤ the Giant Memorial Battle Royal on “WWE SmackDown,” with his final “Raw” match occurring last november. Carlito had previously expressed a desire to conclude his ‍wrestling career with WWE,‌ even ⁢suggesting a match against ‌Dominik Mysterio. However, his departure makes this unlikely.

What’s ⁢next

As ⁣Carlito prepares to​ depart WWE, ‌his future ⁣in ‌professional wrestling remains uncertain, though further ⁤appearances‌ in WWC seem plausible.
