Carlos Edwin "Carly" Colón, Jr. (born February 21 1979) is a Puerto Rican professional wrestler better known internationally by his ring name Carlito.

He was best known for his time that he spent with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) where he won the Intercontinental Championship, the United States Championship and the World Tag Team Championship and WWE Tag Team Championship with his brother Primo. Colon was released by the WWE on 21 May 2010. Since then, he is wrestling on the independent circuit.

He is also a Canadian citizen since the new citizenship laws went into effect in Canada on April 18, 2009, which automatically gave him citizenship as well as citizenship (retroactive to date of birth) to all individuals born outside of Canada in the first generation born abroad to a Canadian parent (he was born in the first generation abroad – Puerto Rico – to a Canadian mother).[1]
