Carlito vs. "The Masterpiece" Chris Masters
April 30th, 2006
On April 30, the recent tensions between Carlito & “The Masterpiece” Chris Masters will come to a head when the former partners turned enemies square off at Backlash.
For months, Carlito & Masters had a tenuous alliance. At New Year’s Revolution, the two struck their initial alliance during the Elimination Chamber Match in an effort to dethrone WWE Champion John Cena. However, Carlito broke that alliance, nailing Masters with a low blow and eliminating him from the match. He did the same three weeks later, blindsiding Masters to eliminate him from the Royal Rumble Match.
At WrestleMania 22, Carlito & Masters had an opportunity to become World Tag Team Champions, but were unable to defeat Big Show & Kane. During the match, Masters accidentally nailed Carlito coming off the top rope, leaving him easy prey for the pinfall. The two then argued in the ring following the match.
The next night on RAW, Carlito came out after Masters’ victory, and all seemed cool between the two after Carlito spit in Masters’ victim’s face. However, when “The Masterpiece” turned his back, Carlito grabbed him and dropped him with a back cracker.
On the April 10 RAW, Carlito came out to gloat about attacking “The Masterpiece.” When Masters came out to rebut, Carlito challenged him to an impromptu Master Lock Challenge. However, instead of applying his devastating finisher, Masters stopped to catch Carlito’s apple when it was thrown, giving Carlito the chance to pick up a chair and nail Masters in the head. After their confrontation, it was announced that the two men would settle their difference at Backlash.
Who will survive this clash between former partners?
