Eddie Guerrero's untimely death in November 2005 was one of the saddest days in WWE history. To honor his legacy and contribution to the industry, WWE celebrated Guerrero's life with tribute episodes of both RAW and SmackDown in the days following his passing. The entire locker room was shocked, but one person who was naturally deeply affected was Eddie's cousin, Chavo Guerrero.

WWE Hall of Fame member JBL requested to face Chavo on the SmackDown tribute episode. Despite being a main event level Superstar at the time, JBL absolutely refused to take the victory, insisting that Guerrero should win the bout.

Chavo revealed the following about his match with JBL on WWE SmackDown's Eddie Guerrero tribute show:

“That whole day I was in a daze. I really don’t remember a whole bunch of it. I only really remember who was there to be honest. It was like an out of body experience. I do remember that they asked me if I wanted to work. They said, “You can just go home now if you want.” I said, “No, no. I want to work. I have to work on this day.” JBL came up and he said, “I want to work with Chavo.” He may have just dropped the strap to somebody and he had already been the champ and been who he was. He said, “I want to work with Chavo.” So I said, “Ok, let’s do it.” He was the one who said, “I’m putting you over right in the middle.” I was like, “No, no, no, no, no. Absolutely not.” He said, “Absolutely we are.” We just had an idea but we really called that match out there. We kind of just went with it.”
