Natalya: El Torito Was Awesome To Work With, I’d Love To Work With Him Again
Natalya praises El Torito.
El Torito was a very uniquely gifted performer during his brief time in WWE. Acting as the mascot for Primo and Epico during their run as Los Matadores, Torito was given the opportunity to participate in matches that most performers of his stature did not get to have.
One such match came during the March 19, 2015 episode of WWE SmackDown when Torito teamed with Los Matadores, then going by the names of Diego & Fernando, in a losing effort to Natalya and the then WWE Tag Team Champions, Cesaro (Claudio Castagnoli) & Tyson Kidd (TJ Wilson).
Reflecting on this match on Twitter, Natalya praised Torito as a performer and said she would like to work with him again.
El Torito was awesome to work with and so so good. I’d love to work with him again. Nothing but respect for him and his abilities–

Torito was also given other opportunities in WWE such as competing in the 2014 WWE Royal Rumble where he even hit CM Punk with a springboard Hurricanrana before being eliminated by Roman Reigns.
Perhaps Torito’s most famous match took place during the kickoff show prior to the 2014 WWE Extreme Rules event where he faced Hornswoggle in a WeeLC Match. This is a match that Hornswoggle would later credit with instilling a lot of confidence in himself. Learn more here.
