WATCH: Footage exposes Carlito as Dragon Lee's Attacker

WWE SmackDown has been embroiled in a whodunit mystery after Dragon Lee was viciously attacked backstage. The initial suspicion fell on Santos Escobar, a natural enemy considering their ongoing rivalry. However, a new twist has emerged, throwing the entire situation into disarray.

During a recent episode of SmackDown, Dragon Lee was found laid out backstage, the victim of a brutal assault. The finger of blame immediately pointed towards Santos Escobar. Escobar had a heated exchange with Lee just moments before the attack, fueling speculation. However, Escobar vehemently denied involvement, creating a cloud of confusion.

Video evidence clears the air!

Now, a bombshell revelation has shaken the wrestling world. Security footage from backstage has surfaced, clearly showing Carlito, a returning legend, delivering the surprise attack on Dragon Lee. This unexpected turn of events throws the entire situation into question.

There are several theories swirling amongst fans and pundits alike. Perhaps Carlito mistook Dragon Lee for someone else. This seems unlikely given the established rivalries within the SmackDown locker room. However, it's not entirely out of the realm of possibility, especially if Lee was involved in an altercation with someone else before the attack. There is also the possibility that there is hidden animosity between Carlito and Dragon Lee. Maybe an incident from their past has resurfaced, prompting Carlito's violent act. While their wrestling careers haven't directly intersected much, there's always the chance for an unknown grudge to come to light. The most intriguing theory suggests Carlito might be working with Santos Escobar. Perhaps Escobar threatened or blackmailed Carlito into taking out Lee, weakening Escobar's future opponent. This would add a layer of deviousness to Escobar's character and create a potential alliance between the two veterans. 

Dragon Lee's status remains unclear. The severity of the attack and his potential return date are yet to be announced. The upcoming weeks promise to be filled with tension, accusations, and potentially explosive confrontations.
