10 Things We Learned From Speaking To Orlando Colón

10. Why He Was Able To Work For WWC While Still Being Contracted To WWE

Despite departing WWE this past April as part of the company's multitude of releases, the tandem of Primo and Epico hadn't been seen on WWE TV for well over a year.

In terms of televised encounters, the Colón cousins were involved in a triple threat contest against The Bar and The Club during an August 2018 episode of SmackDown, and then Primo and Epico were part of a huge 20-team elimination match on the kick-off show for the 2018 edition of Survivor Series.

Throughout 2019 and into 2020, though, Epico was actually working for World Wrestling Council under his real name of Orlando Colón.

Bar a company with whom WWE has a working relationship with, Vince McMahon's organisation never allows contracted talent to work for other promotions. So then, why was Orlando - and also Primo, for that matter - allowed to compete for WWC while under WWE contract?

As Orlando explained to us, "That's a pretty unique thing that we had going on. It's not just me and Primo, it was also Carlito. When we signed our deal, my uncle was able to work out a handshake deal which said that if we don't have any dates that conflict with WWE's schedule, we're free to go and work for my uncle - Carlito's dad and Primo's dad - in Puerto Rico."

Orlando continued, "I mean, we weren't being used since 2018, so me and Primo said, 'Let's just got to Puerto Rico and have fun' - because we weren't doing anything at the time. We have that deal, let's take advantage of that deal."
