Eddie Guerrero's 5 greatest moments in WWE

#2 Eddie Guerrero's storyline involving Rey Mysterio's son

Eddie Guerrero vs. Rey Mysterio in the Custody of Dominik Ladder Match

Would anyone like a chapter read out of Eddie Guerrero's bedtime stories? Rey Mysterio certainly doesn't. Eddie Guerrero turned heel in the summer of 2005 and became embroiled in a feud with one of his real-life friends, Rey Mysterio. The pair had recently been WWE Tag Team Champions and also faced each other at WrestleMania 21 as friends.

Around June, Eddie's character became a lot darker, and he revealed that he had a secret about Rey Mysterio and his son Dominik. Ultimately, it was revealed that Dominik is the son of Eddie. Eddie said he provided the child for Rey and his wife as they were having trouble conceiving a child of their own.

Of course, in storyline, it became some very fascinating television which resulted in a Ladder match being set-up for that summer's SummerSlam pay-per-view. In an interesting twist, the custody of Dominik was on the line. Thankfully, Rey won, with help from Eddie's wife, Vickie.

That summer was by far some of Eddie's best work with the microphone. It was also a real test for Eddie, becoming one of the main heels on SmackDown at the time. He flourished and his work was widely praised.
