Edwin Carlos Colón Coates (born December 21, 1982) is a Puerto Rican professional wrestler. He works with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) as Eddie Colón and is in a tag team with his cousin Orlando Colón. He is best known for his tenure in WWE, where he performed under the ring name Primo Colón.

He is the son of Carlos Colón and the younger brother of Carlos (Carly) Colón Jr. (who performs in WWE under the ring name Carlito) and Stacy Colón. He began wrestling in the World Wrestling Council (WWC), where he won the WWC Universal Heavyweight Championship five times, as well as numerous secondary and tertiary titles. In 2007, Colón signed a developmental contract with WWE, being assigned to Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW). He was teamed with Eric Pérez, forming a tag team known as The Puerto Rican Nightmares, and they became the first wrestlers to hold the FCW Florida Tag Team Championship. Upon being promoted to the main roster in 2008, he was teamed with Carlito. Subsequently, The Colóns became the first team to hold the WWE Tag Team Championship and World Tag Team Championship at the same time, making them the first Unified WWE Tag Team Champions. After Carlito left the promotion, he began teaming with his cousin Orlando Colón (best known in WWE as Epico), with whom he held the WWE Tag Team Championship once. After two years of inactivity, Colón left WWE in 2020.
