Carlito, who has not yet signed a new contract with WWE, was announced over the weekend for an independent appearance at Summerslam. Wrestlecon confirmed that Carlito will be a special guest at their convention held at the Newark Liberty International Airport Marriott in Newark, New Jersey. He will be available for autograph signings and photos on Friday, August 1st from 2 PM to 6 PM, and Saturday, August 2nd from 10 AM to 2 PM.
This marks Carlito’s first booking since his WWE departure was made public. His addition strengthens an already impressive guest lineup that includes stars from various wrestling eras and promotions.
Other notable guests announced include Sting, The Great Muta, Rob Van Dam, The Hardy Boyz (Matt & Jeff Hardy), Kazuchika Okada, Will Ospreay, Saraya, Rikishi, and Abdullah the Butcher. Additional wrestling legends and current talents such as Lex Luger, The Man of Honky Tonk, Dena Plazzo, Matt Cardona, and Dan Spivey will also be present.
Fan Take: This news is significant for WWE fans as it signals Carlito’s continued relevance and presence in the wrestling world outside WWE. His return to independent appearances could hint at exciting new opportunities and storylines that enrich the broader wrestling landscape.
