They are the current Unified WWE Tag Team Champions being holders of both the WWE Tag Team Championship and World Tag Team Championship.

Their father is former World Wrestling Federation wrestler Carlos Colón Sr,and they initially began teaming together in his promotion, World Wrestling Council and held the WWC World Tag Team Championship. In 2008, they began teaming together in WWE, when Primo debuted on SmackDown. In their debut, they defeated then-WWE Tag Team Champions Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder. This win earned them a title opportunity two weeks later, in which they were also successful.

History

World Wrestling Council

The Colóns initially began teaming in their father's company, World Wrestling Council (WWC) to defeat the tag team of Thunder and Lightning for the WWC World Tag Team Championship on March 16, 2002. They lost the title to Thunder and Lightning on the very next night.

World Wrestling Entertainment

Soon after Primo debuted in WWE, he became a full time member of the SmackDown! roster, along with his brother. They defeated WWE Tag Team Champions Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder in their first match as a team to gain victory on September 12, 2008. Two weeks later, both teams competed in a title match, with The Colóns winning to become tag team champions.[4][5] Starting in November, The Colóns developed an on-screen relationship with The Bella Twins (Nikki and Brie), appearing in numerous backstage segments with them and The Bellas accompanied them to the ring.This relationship with the Bella Twins subsequently led to a feud with the World Tag Team Champions John Morrison and The Miz, as Morrison and The Miz flirted with The Bella Twins, and then defeated Carlito and Primo to win a date with them on Valentine's Day.The Bella were seemingly unable to choose between the teams, leading to Morrison and The Miz challenging The Colóns for the WWE Tag Team Championship, and The Colóns challenging Morrison and The Miz for the World Tag Team Championship, although each team retained their respective championship.The rivalry between the teams led The Bella Twins to fall out with each other, with Brie siding with the Colóns, and Nikki siding with Morrison and The Miz. At WrestleMania XXV, The Colóns defeated Morrison and The Miz to win the World Tag Team Championship and become the Unified WWE Tag Team Champions, and they successfully defended the championships the following night on Raw.

On April 15, the Colóns were drafted to the Raw brand as part of the 2009 Supplemental Draft.On April 27, the Colóns made their debut on Raw, defeating Jamie Noble & Chavo Guerrero.

The Colóns lost the Unified Tag Titles when Theodore Long was put on probabtion and had to make Vince McMahon happy by adding Edge and Jericho to a Tag title match at the The Bash.

The Colóns were split up after there rematch with Jericho and Edge two weeks after the Bash and Carlito blammed Primo and then turned on him and attacked him.
