There was a lot of controversy surrounding Carlito’s release from WWE. A lot of people came up with the conclusion that he was fired due to his painkiller addiction while there were some other opinions as well.

Although the exact reason is not clear, Carlito did have an addiction towards pain killers. The Wrestler has admitted it. Carlito’s father and current WWE Hall of Famer Carlos Colon said the same in public and this apparently created some friction in the family.
