World Wrestling Entertainment

Eddie's death and Feud with Rey Mysterio/Chris Benoit (2005–2006)

In 2005, Vickie Guerrero began to make cameo appearances during the feud between her husband Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio, which had escalated when Eddie promised to reveal a secret concerning Mysterio's son, Dominick. Vickie was on the July 14 episode of SmackDown! with two of Eddie's three daughters to stop Eddie from revealing Mysterio's secret. Eddie promised not to reveal the secret should he lose to Mysterio at The Great American Bash,[4] though that turned out to be another one of his character's trademark lies, as Eddie revealed that Dominick was really his biological son. Vickie later reappeared at SummerSlam to convince Eddie to put a stop to his war with Mysterio and not to go through with the "Custody of Dominick" ladder match that night.[5] When that failed, she cost him the match by pushing over the ladder he was on as he was about to win.[5] On November 13, 2005, Eddie Guerrero died of heart failure in his Minneapolis hotel room and was found by his nephew Chavo.[6] On-screen, this led to Rey Mysterio, Eddie's real-life friend, getting more screen time and higher profile matches, including defeating Kurt Angle and Randy Orton at WrestleMania 22 for the World Heavyweight Championship.[7]

In 2006, approximately seven or eight months after Eddie's death, Vickie started appearing more prominently in more controversial storylines. She first asserted herself during a feud between Mysterio and Chavo Guerrero when Chavo accused Mysterio of being "nothing but a leech living off the blood of the Guerrero name" on the August 4 episode of SmackDown!. Subsequently, she acted as peacemaker between the two former friends until she seemingly inadvertently interfered in their match at SummerSlam in 2006, costing Mysterio the match.[8] She then officially betrayed him by siding with Chavo and hitting Mysterio in the back with a steel chair on the following episode of SmackDown!, becoming a heel in the process.[9] On the September 1 edition of SmackDown!, she declared herself Chavo's business manager and Mysterio an "insignificant chapter" in her past.[10][11] At No Mercy, Chavo lost to Mysterio in a Falls Count Anywhere match.[12] On October 20, Rey Mysterio lost an "I Quit" match against Chavo after interference from Vickie.[13]

On October 27, 2006, Chris Benoit became involved in the storyline.[14] He tried to figure out what Vickie was doing with Eddie's estate while also defending the WWE United States Championship in a rivalry with Chavo. At Survivor Series, Chavo kicked out of an attempted sharpshooter, causing Benoit to knock Vickie off the ring apron and on her head, causing her to begin to wear a neck brace and blame Benoit for "intentionally" hitting her.[15] At the end of December, she interfered in a US Championship match between Chavo and Benoit, which caused Chavo to lose and Benoit to retain the title. As a result, Chavo shouted "If you wanted me to win the title, then stop getting me disqualified," before pushing Vickie over.[16]

SmackDown! General Manager (2007–2009)

Assistant and interim General Manager

In May 2007, Kristal, the on-screen girlfriend of General Manager Theodore Long, convinced him to give Guerrero an interview for the position as his assistant.[17] A week after the interview, Vickie was given the job.[2][18] On the June 29 edition of SmackDown!, Vickie acted as a face interim general manager of SmackDown! while Long was planning his wedding with Kristal.[19] She was soon named the maid of honor at Long and Kristal's "wedding".[20] On the September 21 edition of SmackDown!, from Long's hometown of Atlanta, Georgia, Long suffered a heart attack during his wedding to Kristal before they had legally wed.[21]

La Familia and alliance with Big Show

Main article: La Familia

The following week, Vince McMahon named Vickie the new General Manager.[22] On the November 23 edition on SmackDown!, she "punished" Edge for his interference in the championship match at the Survivor Series by making him the number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship, before revealing that she had begun a romantic relationship with him and had facilitated his "plan" to regain the belt.[10] Later in the night, as she and Edge were in the ring, The Undertaker performed a Tombstone Piledriver on Vickie. After being off-air for several weeks, she returned on December 14 as a villain and in a wheelchair, making biased matches in favor of Edge which led to him winning the World Heavyweight Championship at Armageddon.

In early 2008, she formed La Familia with her nephew Chavo, Edge, the team of Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder, and later, Bam Neely. One of her first acts as part of the new group was to help Chavo win the ECW Championship from CM Punk.[23] At the Royal Rumble, Vickie interfered in the World Heavyweight Championship match between Edge and Rey Mysterio, allowing Edge to retain his title.[24] On the subsequent airing of SmackDown!, Edge proposed to Vickie, who accepted, but the event was interrupted by Mysterio.[23] After Vickie had helped Edge to retain his championship for almost 4 months, he eventually dropped the title to The Undertaker. This started a feud between Edge and the Undertaker, with Vickie giving Edge numerous title opportunities and placing The Undertaker in difficult matches. On the May 2 edition of Smackdown, she stripped The Undertaker of his championship after deciding that his new gogoplata submission hold was dangerous, and made a match between The Undertaker and Edge for the vacant title with the stipulation that The Undertaker would be banished from the WWE if he lost. Following interference, Edge won the match and Vickie 'banished' The Undertaker. However, Edge lost his title shortly afterwards to CM Punk. On the July 4 edition of SmackDown!, Edge took his frustrations for losing the World Heavyweight Championship out on Vickie by telling her the wedding was off.[25] The next week, however, Edge re-proposed to Vickie after SmackDown! had gone off the air.[26] On July 18, at the wedding reception (the wedding had occurred off-screen before the show) Triple H came out and showed a video of Edge cheating on Vickie the day before with Alicia Fox, the wedding planner.[27] The storyline continued at The Great American Bash when Fox attempted to hand Edge the WWE Championship belt to use as weapon, but was stopped with a clothesline by Vickie.[28] Edge attempted to spear the referee to delay the match, but hit Vickie instead.[28] Triple H used this distraction to recover and hit a Pedigree to retain his title.[28] On the July 25 edition of SmackDown!, Edge attempted to get Vickie to forgive him, but instead she announced the return of his former enemy The Undertaker, whom Edge would face at SummerSlam in a Hell in a Cell match. A few weeks later, as revenge, Edge attacked the members of La Familia and tipped Vickie from her wheelchair.[29] The Undertaker refused to accept her apology for his banishment, but Vickie stated that she was not afraid of him. She also stated that at Unforgiven, she would force him to apologize to her, but at Unforgiven when The Undertaker did not comply, the Big Show hit him and Vickie spit in his face.[30] Big Show then aligned himself with Vickie, and for the next two weeks they continued to gloat at how they beat The Undertaker. After Undertaker attacked Chavo, Vickie pleaded with Undertaker for forgiveness for her actions. Undertaker, however, once again Tombstoned her, forcing Vickie to rely on both a neckbrace and a wheelchair again. The weeks that followed Vickie would pit the Undertaker in matches against the Big Show that seemed impossible for him to win. After the Big Show lost to the Phenom in a Casket Match, the rivalry basically ended.

Reunited with Edge

At Survivor Series, during a match for the WWE Championship with Triple H and Vladimir Kozlov, Vickie came out to the arena making the announcement that "he's here". Edge's music hit and he came out to compete, making it a triple threat match. At the end, he won the championship, and as he went to the back, he greeted Vickie with a hug. On the December 5 edition of SmackDown! they shared a kiss, thus reinstating their on-screen relationship. On the special December 8 edition of Raw, Vickie and Edge won a Slammy Award for the Couple of the Year.

On the January 2 edition of SmackDown, Vickie appeared in some nude photos and (kayfabe) put them on eBay, Triple H took advantage of the situation to get some laughs out of the crowd. WWE.com later released censored versions of these photos, courtesy of The Great Khali, who had kayfabe won the auction.

Raw General Manager (2009)

On February 23, 2009 she was appointed the interim General Manager of Raw during Stephanie McMahon's absence.[31] On the following edition of Raw, Guerrero announced that Edge would be facing The Big Show for his title at WrestleMania XXV. On the March 9 edition of Raw, John Cena showed footage of Vickie cheating on Edge with The Big Show after Guerrero had added Cena to the World Heavyweight Championship match, making it Triple Threat.

On the April 6 edition of Raw, Guerrero was given the choice of either being General Manager of Raw or SmackDown. She announced that she would run Raw. Her move to Raw means that she will be separated from Edge, although The Big Show was also moved to Raw during the 2009 WWE Draft.

Personal life

Vickie was married to Eddie Guerrero on April 24, 1990 until his death on November 13, 2005. Together they had two daughters, Shaul Marie (born October 14, 1990)[32] and Sherilyn Amber (born July 8, 1995).[33] Eddie had a daughter, named Kaylie Marie (born 2002) with another woman during the couple's brief separation.
