When Eddie Guerrero entered a feud with Batista in late 2005, fans were excited.

It had been over a year since Guerrero had last held singles gold in the company, losing the WWE Title to John 'Bradshaw' Layfield at the Great American Bash 2004.

In an interview, Stephanie McMahon inferred that Eddie was given the opportunity to become champion again, but turned it down.

The reason behind this was that Eddie put a lot of pressure on himself during his WWE title reign, and didn't want to go through that again, though these plans have been disputed by some.

Sadly, Latino Heat would never win a second World Championship in WWE, as in November 2005, Eddie Guerrero tragically passed.

A loss that was a crushing blow to the company and its fans, Guerrero was posthumously inducted into the Hall of Fame the next year.
