Rey Mysterio and Santos Escobar were set to team up with Cruz Del Toro or Joaquin Wilde in a six-man tag team match against Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits at tonight’s WWE Fastlane 2023.
Cruz and Joaquin got injured in storyline during Lashley and Mysterio’s match on SmackDown. As a result, they were left without a partner for Fastlane. During a backstage segment later in the show, Mysterio stated that he would find a replacement for them, but kept the identity of the replacement a secret.
Since then, there have been rumors that former WWE star Carlito could be returning at tonight’s show to be the mystery partner.
Carlito reacted to a video of the LWO’s segment on SmackDown by writing the following on Twitter:
Since CM Punk was fired by All Elite Wrestling, rumors have been swirling that the Chicago-born wrestler might be set to make a sensational return to WWE. In this week’s edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, veteran wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer wrote that people close to Punk have said that “it is his intention to return” to the Stamford, Connecticut-based promotion and that “the two sides are in talks.”
Meltzer went on to suggest that if a deal was put together, then the upcoming WWE Survivor Series 2023 premium live event at the Allstate Arena in Chicago, Illinois, would be the perfect time to pull the trigger for a surprise return.
Punk is currently a free agent after he was dismissed by AEW following a backstage altercation with Jack Perry at the AEW All In pay-per-view at Wembley Stadium on August 27. The incident reportedly took place right before Punk successfully retained the “Real World Championship” against Samoa Joe; Perry had just lost the FTW Championship to HOOK on the All In pre-show before that bout. Perry had referenced an alleged disagreement he and Punk had over the use of glass during his FTW title clash.
Punk’s most recent appearance for WWE came when he participated in the 2014 Royal Rumble match. Punk walked out on WWE the following day. He first joined the promotion in 2005 after many successful years on the independent scene. In 2019, he became an analyst on FOX’s “WWE Backstage” show; Punk was contracted to FOX for those appearances. Shawn Michaels, WWE’s Senior Vice President of Talent Development Creative, recently said that he’d love to have Punk on the “WWE NXT” brand.

Sammy Guevara was initially penciled in to be Konosuke Takeshita’s partner against Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega on last night’s episode of “AEW Dynamite” in Stockton, California. However, Guevara was not medically cleared to perform, so Kyle Fletcher took his place.
According to veteran wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer, who was speaking on the “Wrestling Observer Radio” show, Guevara suffered a concussion on Sunday night at the inaugural AEW WrestleDream pay-per-view. Meltzer was unsure how much time Guevara would miss as a result of his injury.
Guevara, who turned on Jericho after suffering a loss against the former AEW World Champion at the third annual “AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam” special on September 20, pinned his former buddy in a trios match at WrestleDream moments after “The Ocho” was struck with a baseball bat by Don Callis. Guevara was teaming up with his new Don Callis Family associates Takeshita and reigning IWGP United States Heavyweight Champion Will Ospreay against Jericho, Omega, and Kota Ibushi.
On last night’s episode of “Dynamite,” Callis announced that Guevara was not medically cleared to perform in his scheduled tag team match. He then introduced Fletcher as Takeshita’s partner, with the pair going on to suffer a loss at the hands of Jericho and Omega. After that tag team bout, Callis distracted Jericho and Omega on the stage while Powerhouse Hobbs entered the ring and attacked both men.
