The Shining Stars are a professional wrestling tag team performing in WWE on the Raw brand. The team is composed of real-life cousins Primo and Epico. The cousins are former and one-time WWE Tag Team Champions, with the title won during their first run as Primo & Epico, from 2011 to 2013. They also formerly performed as Diego and Fernando of Los Matadores, from 2013 to 2015 in WWE.

On the November 4, 2011, episode of SmackDown, Epico debuted on the main roster as a heel and realigned with Hunico, his former partner from when both were masked in FCW. On the November 11 episode of Smackdown, Primo, Epico's real-life cousin, was in the corner of Epico when he teamed with Hunico in a winning effort against The Usos. On the November 17 episode of Superstars, Primo & Epico beat the Usos. On the December 1 episode of Superstars, Rosa Mendes aligned herself with the group as their valet, as they were quietly disassociated from Hunico.

Primo & Epico then began a feud with WWE Tag Team Champions Air Boom, beating both Evan Bourne and Kofi Kingston in singles matches, followed by two victories for Primo & Epico against Air Boom during non-title tag team matches on December 13 at WWE Tribute to the Troops and the December 15 Superstars. This earned Primo & Epico a shot at the titles at TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs pay-per-view, but were unsuccessful. Primo & Epico's feud with Air Boom continued with Air Boom triumphant in singles matches, while Primo & Epico obtained yet another victory in a non-title tag match.
