In a surprising twist on SmackDown, Kayla Braxton finds herself expressing disappointment following a notable heel turn, none other than that of a top WWE figure, Carlito.
Last year, Carlito’s return to WWE saw him align with Rey Mysterio, swiftly embroiled in the veteran’s feud against Santos Escobar. However, as Rey expanded his alliance to include Dragon Lee, Carlito seemed relegated to the sidelines. Despite this, his loyalty remained steadfast until tonight’s revelation.
In a shocking turn of events, backstage footage aired on SmackDown revealed Carlito as the assailant behind Dragon Lee’s mysterious attack. His subsequent assault on Lee, culminating in a backstabber on Rey Mysterio, marked a definitive shift in his allegiance.
Reacting to Carlito’s heel turn, Kayla Braxton took to social media to voice her dismay, echoing the sentiments of fans worldwide with her heartfelt plea:
“Carlito nooooooo!!! Say it ain’t so!”
Carlito’s actions, born out of perceived neglect by Rey Mysterio, signal a departure from his former alliance.
Carlito nooooooo!!! Say it ain’t so! 😭 #SmackDown

As the WWE universe grapples with the repercussions of Carlito’s heel turn, the stage is set for a gripping narrative as alliances shift and loyalties are tested in the ever-evolving terrain of SmackDown.
