Its never a good sign when one week after (re)debuting, youre relegated to a 20-second videotaped promo instead of a match. But in the case of Primo and Epico, it might be a sign that their latest gimmick already has run its course.

The cousins returned to Raw last week after weeks of taped promos made them out to be some strange hybrid of Puerto Rican tour leaders, constantly urging people to visit their island. They won their return match over NXT jobbers handily, but didnt even warrant a match Monday. Instead, they once again invited people to visit Puerto Rico.

It wouldnt be shocking to see the Colons jobbing to Enzo & Big Cass or maybe New Day sometime soon, as it looks like this new iteration of the team isnt going to catch fire unless Rosa Mendes suddenly rejoins them. Who would have thought that Los Matadores might have been a step up?
