Former WWE Tag Team Champions Primo and Epico Colon Set for NWA Debut

One big thing

Former WWE Tag Team Champions Primo and Epico Colon are making their NWA debuts at the October 5 and 6 tapings of “NWA Powerrr” in Tampa, FL.

Why it matters

This move brings veteran talent to NWA’s tag team division, potentially elevating the competition and drawing more attention to the promotion.

The details

• The NWA announced the Colons’ debut via X (formerly Twitter) and a press release.
• The tapings will take place at Tampa’s WEDU Studios, a PBS affiliate.
• Primo and Epico wrestled for WWE from 2012 to 2020.
• After leaving WWE, they returned to Puerto Rico’s WWC promotion, run by their father Carlos Colon.

What they’re saying

“Bringing veterans like Primo and Epico to the National Wrestling Alliance — and having a world-traveled duo like this in our locker room — is a tremendous addition to NWA’s already stacked tag team division,” said Bryan Idol, national promoter for the NWA.

The bigger picture

• The Colon family has a rich wrestling history, with Carlito (Primo’s brother and Epico’s cousin) currently enjoying a WWE return.
• Carlito’s recent WWE comeback, starting with a surprise appearance at Backlash in Puerto Rico, has been well-received.
• According to Epico, WWE had intended to bring Carlito back for years.

What’s next?

There’s no word yet on who Primo and Epico will face in their NWA debut. Their addition to the roster could spark new rivalries and storylines in the NWA tag team division.
