Eddie Guerrero never managed to break through the lower card in WCW and was regularly featured as a Cruiserweight Superstar. Upon arriving in WWE, he competed against top talents like The Rock and went on to hold the European Title and the Intercontinental Title on several occasions.

On the road to WrestleMania 20, Eddie won a battle royal on an episode of SmackDown and competed for the WWE Title against Brock Lesnar at No Way Out. In one of the biggest upsets in WWE history, Eddie defeated Lesnar after interference by Goldberg. The Latino Superstar successfully defended the WWE Title against Kurt Angle at WrestleMania 20. Eddie's reign lasted until The Great American Bash, where he lost a Texas Bullrope match against JBL. He never won the title again, and tragically passed away in late 2005. Eddie was posthumously inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2006.

Abhilash Mendhe is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda with nearly five years of experience. He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
