Eddie Guerrero was one of the most beloved Superstars in all of WWE

Eddie Guerrero paid his dues for years on end, including a stint as a Cruiserweight star in WCW. In 2004, he defeated Brock Lesnar to win his only WWE world title, at No Way Out. He went on to successfully defend the belt against Kurt Angle at WrestleMania 20.

Eddie Guerrero will always be remembered by the pro-wrestling industry as one of the most charismatic Superstars to ever grace the squared circle. It's been 15 years since he left this world, but his contribution towards pro-wrestling will never be forgotten.

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.
