At present, Orlando Colón is the WWC Universal Heavyweight Champion. And while Orlando still has plans to remain an active part of Carlos Colón's World Wrestling Council, he also explained to us how the trio of himself, Primo, and Carlito are planning to work together on an international level.

On his loyalty to his uncle's WWC, Orlando enthused, "I'll always be WWC, 'cos that's the family company. It's where I was basically born in the wrestling industry. It'll always be my home."

When looking outside of WWC, Colón added, "I'm excited for the future. I've always wanted to travel and do the big wrestling companies. That's my dream. I've always wanted to go to Mexico, to AAA, I've always wanted to go to Japan - I got the opportunity in 2009 to work with Zero1 - [but] I would love to go for New Japan or Pro Wrestling NOAH, all the big companies. I would like to leave my mark in every company."

Discussing whether he'll be looking to work more as a singles star or as part of a tag team or faction, Colón added, "In Puerto Rico, we focus more on our singles career. Globally, I think Carlito, Primo, and Epico - Carly, Eddie, and Orlando - should be the way to go. I would love to show the world, all the wrestling fans, what we can do as a unit. We've always dreamt about doing it since we were kids, but we never really had the opportunity. Now we have the opportunity, so I think it'll be a cool thing to do and entertaining for the wrestling fans."
