Ever since their auspicious debut in WWE, Los Matadores and their ringside supporter El Torito have had Zeb Colter seeing a little more red than white and blue, and at WWE Hell in a Cell, the polarizing patriot’s Real American duo of Antonio Cesaro & Jack Swagger will attempt to deal the newcomers their first loss.
It’s a clash the WWE Universe saw coming from miles away. Though the masked, Spanish-speaking bullfighters from Plaza de Toros have quickly won the hearts of WWE , they’ve had the exact opposite effect on Colter. With his Gadsen-flag adorned athletes behind him, Colter has repeatedly alleged that Los Matadores are undocumented workers, “border-hopping banditos” competing in the United States illegally.

Diego, Fernando and El Torito have not taken kindly to Colter’s button-pushing. On a recent edition of SmackDown, the little bull twice gored the propaganda-spewing strategist. In response, the ornery Colter has introduced a new device — a whipping, cracking bullwhip — and his intentions for the tool are all too clear.
Whether Colter will be able to employ the weapon at WWE Hell in a Cell may very well depend on what transpires inside the squared circle. A competition between speed and strength, the newly announced tag team bout is a classic style clash. With Los Matadores having yet to suffer defeat in WWE and Cesaro & Swagger consistently providing tough challenges to top tandems, this match may end up being about more than just bragging rights; it could alter the landscape of WWE’s steadily intensifying tag team division, too.
What will happen when the smooth and graceful matadors finally lock up with their fiercely powerful opposition? Will Diego & Fernando continue their winning ways, or will Colter’s prediction that El Torito winds up in the Cesaro Swing — and thus leaves Miami a foot-and-a-half taller — come to fruition?
