10 WWE Stars Who Have Gone AWOL

10. Primo & Epico Colón

Admit it, before reading this you totally forget these dudes existed.

Believe it or not, The Colón cousins (note the accent) have wrestled some WWE matches in 2019. They worked extensively on the house show loop in January before losing a dark match to Heavy Machinery pre-TV on the 26 February episode of SmackDown, and...that's it so far, in WWE at least.

Outside it, the boys have been busy. Epico became the new WWC Universal Champ in late-August, and he's slated to defend it against Primo on 14 September at WWC's Septiembre Negro event. The strange thing here is that Vince McMahon doesn't normally outsource contracted talent to other companies (even if they do belong to said talent's father). It's all rather bizarre.

There's no sign of a WWE comeback on the horizon either. For now, the former Shining Stars are in Puerto Rico doing their thing, and they're showing no sign of budging. It's probably a bit more satisfying for them than jobbing on house shows or losing matches on Main Event, to be honest.
