Death is an aspect of life that never tells when it comes knocking. This is why the WWE has policies for wrestler’s families after their passing. However, as it turns out, not everyone is granted the same privilege or deal after their loved one passes away while under contract with the company. One former WWE and ECW champion talks about the difference between the deal the WWE gave Bray Wyatt‘s family and the one a WWE Legend’s family received.

Chavo Guerrero Jr. compares the deals Eddie Guerrero’s family got vs Bray Wyatt’s

Bray Wyatt passed away on 24 August 2023, which came as a massive shock to the WWE Universe. Wyatt was loved, and a good draw for the company, but health complications resulted in the star’s untimely demise. Another star who passed away before their time was Eddie Guerrero. Guerrero passed away on 13 November 2005, at the peak of his career.

While both men created legacies for themselves within the hearts of the fans and walls of the WWE, their families were given different deals upon their passing. Now, when wrestlers pass away, the WWE gives a portion of their merch sales to the families.

While talking to Adrian Hernandez, Chavo Guerrero Jr. revealed massive details regarding the deal the family received after Guerrero’s passing. Chavo said, “To reclarify, not that the WWE is not paying the merchandise on Eddie, they obviously have to, they obviously are.”

Chavo went on to explain how Guerrero’s children are receiving the merchandise sales payments from the WWE. However, he revealed that it was not the same deal Bray Wyatt’s family received. He said, “What’s unfortunate is that they should be reaping the benefit of Eddie’s legacy.” This hinted that the deal WWE gave the family wasn’t as fruitful as the one Wyatt’s family received.

Why does Eddie Guerrero’s legacy mean so much?

While many WWE fans today only know Guerrero from old videos of him wrestling, there is a fanbase that absolutely adores the star. The man was not just an innovator in the ring but also someone who was entertaining to watch.

With his trademark catchphrase, ‘To lie, cheat, steal,’ he captivated an entire generation. Tributes to him can be seen whenever a wrestler hits the frog splash. Even Rey and his son Dominik Mysterio still pay tribute to Guerrero.

What do you think about the Guerrero family not getting the same deal as the Wyatts? Tell us down below.
