#4. Chavo Guerrero Jr. and Rey Mysterio have known each other for long

Rey Mysterio was very close to the late Eddie Guerrero. Another person who was close to Eddie was his real-life nephew, Chavo Gurrero.

Rey and Chavo shared the ring several times inside and outside WWE. Chavo is now signed to AEW where he’s trying to do something new with his career as the executive consultant for Andrade El Idolo.

During an interview in 2016, Chavo showered Rey with a lot of praise and said that he’s a great person to work with.

“I’ve heard 20 or 30 times that someone is the next Rey Mysterio. No way. There’s one Rey Mysterio. There are a lot of people who are really good, but one Rey Mysterio... He’s such a great person to work with professionally. We’re really happy to have picked him up, and he’s really happy too.”

Rey and Eddie had a bond that many WWE fans were aware of. His relationship with Eddie Guerrero also brought him pretty close to his nephew, Chavo Guerrero.
