10 Buried Treasures That Could Leave WWE Before 2018
9. The Colóns
The Colons made a surprise switch to SmackDown Live! in April 2017's 'Superstar shake-up', but the biggest shock about it was that WWE management even remembered that they existed.
Token jobbers on Monday Night Raw, they immediately fulfilled the same role on the blue brand, despite early success against an American Alpha duo also destined for disaster. A July knee injury shelved Primo, leaving Epico perhaps more relieved than rueing his bad luck when the company elected to keep the act off television altogether whilst his brother convalesced.
Though Primo is now fit to return, The Colon act is profoundly not. A dead horse already beaten beyond recognition, their wafer-thin timeshare salesmen gimmick was doomed from the first vignette, and their trajectory looked equally stilted in a brief repackaging as miscast Tuesday night bad-asses.
In 2014, Primo, Epico and ex-roster member Carlito inducted father and Puerto Rican wrestling icon Carlos into the WWE Hall Of Fame. The former apple-spitting Intercontinental Champion stole the stage and the show. With charisma so effortless that it was just too laid back for WWE management to fully understand when he was on the main roster, Carlito may have missed his window. Only considered utility men despite their fabulous talents, his brother and cousin never really had it opened a crack for them in the first place.
