Carlito Colon kicks off free agent career with
Big Time Wrestling
Carlito Colon kicked off his free agent career as part of Big Time Wrestling. He departed from
WWE
earlier this month. The wrestler's exit was primarily because of contract issues. WWE opted not to renew his contract. Colon's exit from the promotion became official after WWE removed his profile from the roster page recently.
Colon, however, did not have to wait for long. The wrestler got the first match of his free agent career. He will be facing Matt Riddle, a WWE alumnus. Riddle and Colon will be facing each other for the title of 'King of BTW.' However, this is not the only roadmap for Carlito right now. The Wrestler will be making an appearance at WrestleCon, Newark, New Jersey, during SummerSlam Weekend.

The Undertaker calls for professionalism following WWE legend's unexpected walkout from show
On the most recent episode of WWE LFG (Legends & Future Greats), a WWE legend walked out mid-taping in the biggest incident to date. The incident occurred shortly after tempers boiled over between the mentors on the show, with Booker T storming off set after a spat over the choice of competitors. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The audience and WWE greats in attendance were stunned when this departure happened, and spoke up, sending a powerful message about professionalism. The Undertaker's message reverberates through the locker room In the aftermath of that incident, The Undertaker reportedly spoke to the cast and crew and made a strong case for order. Though he didn't specifically name names, he was referencing the walkout of Booker T. Sources say that The Undertaker made it clear that mentoring WWE LFG comes with an obligation to be an example, in and out of the ring. He then suggested that one should not command, no matter how great a legacy or how many accolades one carries, without respect. While The Deadman certainly spoke in a composed manner, his message spoke volumes to those in attendance. It also reminded us that this was more than just a competition; it was about character and legacy, too. A shift in atmosphere among mentors Insider managed to confirm that the walkout has created an impact on the vibes of the show. WWE LFG was all about guidance and legacy, and combining seasoned veterans with blossoming talent to create stars of the future. But when legends use petty grievances to eclipse the mission, it threatens to burn the buzz from the series. Also Read: Following the incident, fans are now wondering what Booker T does from here and if the tensions between mentors will have an effect on the show moving onward. Elsewhere, and embodying a leading-by-example mentality, The Undertaker is also continuing to establish a standard that being in WWE, at any level, demands far more than talent; it requires professionalism and decorum, and a respect for the business above all else. As WWE LFG plays out, fans will be watching to see if The Undertaker's message brings everyone together, or whether wider rifts among the legends are also yet to come to light.
