Feud with Rey Mysterio On February 20, 2005, Eddie Guerrero once again became a tag team champion, this time with long time friend and sometimes rival Rey Mysterio when they defeated the Basham Brothers at No Way Out 2005 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Many expected the new champions to defend their titles at WrestleMania 21, but after encouragement from Chavo, instead Eddie Guerrero challenged Rey to a one-on-one match so they could "bring the house down." The two wrestled a match at WrestleMania with Mysterio getting the win. Although visibly frustrated, Eddie Guerrero congratulated his partner. After several mishaps in the weeks following WrestleMania, the growing tension between Guerrero and Mysterio finally erupted when they lost their tag titles to new team MNM on the April 21 episode of SmackDown! Although they received a match to regain the titles, Eddie Guerrero turned heel once again by abandoning his partner, whom he had dubbed "his family" earlier in the show. Eddie Guerrero then adopted a new, somewhat sociopathic gimmick. During this time, he also stopped driving his low-riders down the ring and walked to the ring with a frown on his face, and reverted to using the Lasso from El Paso as his finishing move. At the end of one episode of SmackDown!, he viciously and emotionlessly beat up his former tag team partner, Rey Mysterio, leaving him bruised and bloody after suplexing him onto a set of steel steps. At Judgment Day 2005 on May 22, Guerrero lost to Mysterio by disqualification. Several weeks after the match at Judgment Day, Eddie Guerrero threatened to reveal a secret about Rey and Rey's son Dominik. The storyline grew to involve the families of both men, with both sides pleading for Eddie Guerrero not to reveal the secret. Rey defeated Eddie Guerrero again at The Great American Bash 2005, a match with a stipulation that if Guerrero lost, he would not tell the secret. Yet Eddie Guerrero revealed the secret anyway on the following episode of SmackDown! - telling Dominik and the audience that Eddie Guerrero was his real father. The following weeks had Eddie Guerrero revealing the details of the secret in a series of what he called "Eddie's Bedtime Stories". He claimed that he had a child out of wedlock (Dominik) while his marriage was going through hard times. He claimed he then allowed Mysterio and his wife, who were "having trouble conceiving", to adopt the child as their own. At SummerSlam 2005, Eddie Guerrero lost a ladder match over Dominik's custody to Mysterio. Their emotional feud ended at the premiere of Friday Night SmackDown!, where Eddie Guerrero finally gained a victory over Mysterio in a steel cage match. Eddie Guerrero Feud with Batista Following his feud with Rey Mysterio, Eddie Guerrero was named number one contender to the World Heavyweight Championship and given a title match with Batista at No Mercy 2005 on October 9, 2005. Despite this, Guerrero quickly proclaimed himself to be Batista's friend. However, Batista was wary of Eddie Guerrero and a series of matches with MNM only supported his suspicions, as Guerrero appeared to have reverted to his cheating ways. In response to Batista's suspicions, Eddie Guerrero helped Batista win a match against his tag team partners, John "Bradshaw" Layfield and Christian. Batista defeated Eddie Guerrero at No Mercy to retain his World title. During the match, Eddie Guerrero struggled with a decision about whether or not to use a steel chair to secure the victory, eventually opting not to use it and losing as a result. Though the two demonstrated mutual respect after the match, Eddie Guerrero seemed displeased by the loss. Eventually, Batista and Guerrero would become allies against Randy Orton, Bob Orton and Ken Kennedy. Guerrero would tell Batista that he realized how low he had sunk since being WWE Champion in 2004, having attacked his best friend Rey Mysterio. Eddie Guerrero told him that Batista shaking his hand at No Mercy had returned his respect to him. On the November 11, 2005 edition of Friday Night SmackDown!, Eddie Guerrero wrestled what turned out to be the final match of his life, a victory by disqualification using his trademark cheating tactics over Ken Kennedy. This was a Survivor Series qualifying match which would have put Eddie Guerrero on the SmackDown! team of a brand-war Survivor Series match. Eddie Guerrero Fueds |
