Update on Carlito's WWE status, Umaga rumor and Ron Killings & WWE
On Thursday, June 26, 2008 at 6:38 PM EST After recent reports stated that Carlito was unhappy and frustrated with his current role in WWE, he is now talking like he is willing to stay put with the company at the moment. Many feel this is the best choice for him long-term.
There is talk of wanting to transition Umaga's character to where he begins doing interviews for himself. Whether or not it will happen remains to be seen.
According to a new report, the latest idea for Ron Killings is to have him start on TV in July with a gimmick playing off his "Truth" nickname. Considering that gimmick was first created by TNA, many have found it to be highly unusal that WWE would go with that name. It is possible they could go with something different, but that was the talk as of right now. The company does feel they need to push more African Americans on TV right now because of the decline in that demographic and also want to get some new people in the mix.
