Chavo Guerrero Continues To Backtrack On His Comments Toward Rey Mysterio

Chavo Guerrero recently stirred up some controversy when he called for Rey Mysterio to stop using Eddie Guerrero’s name for personal gain and profit. Since the original comments, Chavo has continued to backtrack and claims he was just playing a heel.

Speaking with Bill Apter for Sportskeeda’s “WrestleBinge” podcast, the former WWE and AEW wrestler commented on why he made the original comments, his friendship with Rey, and more.

You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

On why he made the comments: “Someone came on [the live stream] and hit me with ‘How do you feel about Rey Mysterio constantly using Eddie’s name?’ It was a little of tongue in cheek and I was kind of joking around with it a lot, but people ran with it.”

On his friendship with Mysterio: “I love Rey. I text Rey, and I say ‘Hey. It’s not real heat. I’m not mad. It’s just a work’… I let it go for a little bit, and then I said [on Twitter] ‘hook, line, and sinker, that’s how a heel talks.’”
