7 Ups And 7 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (April 18)

2. Is This A Re-Debut Or A Travel Commercial?

We€™re now into week three of a slow reintroduction of Primo and Epico as performers after the cousins spent the past two years under masks as Los Matadores. And it has been a sloooow reintroduction. Or are the cousins now acting as goodwill ambassadors for Puerto Rico, trying to attract tourists to the economically challenged island?

So far, every vignette that has aired has featured Primo and Epico talking about how wonderful Puerto Rico is and encouraging the viewer to leave their bland life behind and come to the €œshining star of the Caribbean.€ There has barely been mention of their names, much less the fact that they€™re returning to WWE. Are they supposed to be heels because they think their tropical island is better than the doldrums of a typical North American city?

Hopefully, we will soon get at least an inkling of when the cousins will be returning to the ring. Or maybe we€™ll get an update on cheap airfare in the next vignette.
