Carlito returned to WWE television during Fastlane last week, which was his first appearance since Backlash back in May. His return during WWE Fastlane was met with a lot of positive reactions as well. He also came out to a new theme song and Carlito admitted that he wasn’t really crazy about his new song.
This year’s WWE Fastlane took place at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis and had the fans entertained throughout the night. This included Carlito making his surprise return as LWO’s mystery partner. Carlito helped get the win for his team with a brutal Backstabber for good measure.
While speaking on The Ringer Wrestling Show’s Cheap Heat podcast, Carlito talked about his new entrance theme song. Carlito admitted he wasn’t initially crazy about the theme song but hoped fans would eventually learn to like it.
”You mean the intro? It’s a little different. I wanted to do something a little different, you know what I mean? It’s been so much time, you know, you gotta change with the time a little bit so I wanted to kind of keep the cool going but just show up with something new. From what I heard, people weren’t crazy about the new theme song yet but I think — I wasn’t either, so maybe it’s one of those things that might grow on you later on. But, we’ll see.
They ran it by me. They wanted to change it. I wasn’t crazy about changing it. I, like everyone else, wanted to keep it. I liked it the way it was but, they said, ‘We wanna change it.’ ‘Alright, let’s see what we can do’ and they asked me for my input here and there… ‘It could use a little bit more bass here, more drums,’ little things like that and then the lines, I wanted to change them. I didn’t want the old lines from before.
Like I said, I wasn’t crazy about it, but also, it was like one of those earworms where I’d be humming it to myself during the day, you know? Because they said, ‘You listened to it 1,000 times’ and then I’d find myself just humming it here without even noticing so, it grew on me a little bit so maybe, hopefully — I know people don’t like change. I’m that guy too. I’m not crazy about change but, I think it’s something that needed to be done and just to, you know, put a fresh coat of paint on everything.”
During this week’s episode of Friday Night Smackdown, Bobby Lashley attacked Carlito during a backstage segment. Therefore, Carlito’s first feud back in WWE will be with Lashley, so we’ll have to wait and see how their feud will be booked in the coming weeks.
