Spoiler: Carlito Explains Why He Betrayed the LWO at 5/3 WWE SmackDown Tapings

An air of mystery gripped the backstage corridors of Friday Night SmackDown in the wake of a shocking attack on LWO member Dragon Lee, just one night before his highly anticipated WrestleMania debut a few weeks ago.

Speculation ran rampant for weeks regarding the identity of the attacker, leaving the WWE Universe on edge. However, the veil of secrecy was lifted on SmackDown last week, unveiling fellow LWO member Carlito as the perpetrator behind the heinous act.

With the shocking revelation laid bare, Carlito’s betrayal escalated as he launched a surprise attack on both Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee before slipping away into the crowd, leaving LWO in disbelief at ringside.

On tonight’s edition of SmackDown in France, Carlito shed light on his betrayal. He stated that he had found family with the LWO and expected Rey Mysterio to choose him as his partner for the WrestleMania 40 bout against Dominik Mysterio and Santos Escobar. Instead, he picked Dragon Lee, who according to Carlito had done nothing significant in WWE, leading to Carlito turning his back on the LWO and orchestrating the attack.

With Carlito and the rest of the LWO now a part of RAW due to the WWE Draft 2024, we will have to wait and see if the internal civil war between the LWO members unfolds on the red brand.
