When Carlito's music hit for a MITB qualifier I wasn't sure if he was there to job or to actually get a spot on Mania. Then when Cody came out, I still couldn't figure out if he was gonna job or not.
Saying that, I think Carlito right now is the definition of 'lower-midcarder', and hopefully with him getting a spot on the card can give him a bit more credibility and lead to a bit of a push in the future. I'm not saying World title, but I would like to see Carlito jump to SD! to give Matt Hardy a feud for the US title (when he finally beats MVP, and MVP then heads to RAW). I think those two can have a nice program over the title in the Spring/Summer when MVP/Hardy finishes
