A WWE legend is inching closer to their long-awaited return.
Former wife of the late wrestling great Eddie Guerrero, Vickie Guerrero, remained a part of WWE from 2005 to 2018 and worked in multiple on-screen as well as off-screen roles. A part of several interesting storylines with multiple former World Champions, Guerrero parted ways with the promotion in 2018.
Soon after, she joined AEW in 2019 and remained a part of the Jacksonville promotion until 2023, when her contract expired. Long gone from WWE, the one-time Miss WrestleMania is now rumored to be on her way back.
As per a latest report from Fightful Select, it was noted that Guerrero has reported to sources close to her about how she is expected to be back in WWE in a “few weeks”. However, it is not clear what plans the Stamford-based promotion has for her, although her expected return timeline falls ahead of the women-exclusive PLE, Evolution 2025. In accordance with her past and the Guerrero lineage, a storyline against Dominik Mysterio could be speculated, although nothing is confirmed as of yet.
The 57-year-old has maintained a positive relationship with WWE over the years. Her All Elite Wrestling run from 2019 to 2023 allegedly soured her relationship with WWE. Things have reportedly improved since then. She was last spotted backstage at a WWE SmackDown taping in September 2024.
Vickie Guerrero Was Once Planned To Win The WWE Women’s Championship
Last year, during an appearance on the Heated Shenanigans Podcast, former WWE star Layla opened up about the past scrapped plans of Vickie Guerrero winning the women’s championship.
“It was a dream of mine. I always dreamed about it. I thought, ‘Yeah, I could do it,’ but then, in the back of my head, I’m like, ‘Yeah, you’re not going to do it. There’s no way. You ain’t got a chance,’” she recalled. “The actual plan was to give the title to Vickie. They were going to give the title to Vickie because Beth was injured. So, that whole day, that’s how we were planning planning.”
“[Fit Finlay] came by the ring and he goes, ‘Hey, so you’re winning the title tonight.’ I was like, ‘Oh, okay,’ because he’s always joking around. He goes, ‘No, legit, seriously, you’re winning the title tonight.’ ‘Who me? No.’ I still didn’t believe it, I thought he was just messing with me.
We’re going over the match and what we’re going to do and he goes, ‘Okay, Michelle, Beth, you guys are out and then Layla, you’ll win.’ I was like, ‘What?’ I still didn’t believe it. I’m telling you, nobody thought I was ever going to win that title. Watch that match back.
“It’s in Beth’s hometown I remember it was like crickets. I could hear myself nobody could believe it. It was honestly one of the best moments in my career because now I got the opportunity to shine because nobody expected it. I think it was the best thing that happened for our storyline for LayCool to move on to better things and it gave me confidence, too, that, ‘Wow, they have a little bit of faith in me. Maybe I can do this.’”
