As PWInsider.com previously reported in the Elite section, WWE had targeted the week of 7/7 for Carlito's return to the company.
While he was not backstage at Madison Square Garden for Smackdown, company sources confirmed that he traveled to the Northeast for the company that weekend.
A longtime PWInsider Elite subscriber relayed today that they saw Carlito waiting for a flght from Pittsburgh on Sunday. WWE's medical program is headquartered in the Steel City.
One WWE source noted that Carlito's return on last week's Smackdown "would have been lost in the wake of the Bloodline" so it was for the best he didn't return that evening. The LWO was used only for cameo appearances on the episode.
