Sherilyn Guerrero Training for In-Ring Debut

Sherilyn Guerrero, the daughter of Eddie Guerrero, didn’t want any part of wrestling after her famous father passed away.

She told the Smooth Vega podcast it has taken a long time for her to want to be part of the business.

“I feel like when he died, wrestling died with me. The yearn to watch it, the yearn to be a wrestler, because I wanted to be a wrestler so bad when I was younger and I feel like when he passed away, because it was so unexpected and soon, definitely it died with me. I had a long time before I was ready to even be okay with even accepting it back into my life. I feel like God always brought wrestling back to me in some way, form or shape, whether I tried to do the normal life or be behind the camera,” she said.

Guerrero began her in-ring training last year. She injured her ankle early on and that gave her time to really wonder if she wanted to follow in her father’s footsteps. She is currently being coached and trained by Booker T’s Reality of Wrestling promotion, school.

“I also feel like I had to even heal to love wrestling again and I never expected to really be able to heal from it. Then, I went through a lot worse where I honed back into loving it and trying to get close with him again because unfortunately he was always on the road and when my dad was home it was still wrestling that me and him bonded over. So it’s a good healing now. Before it was, ‘I hate it, get it away from me, because I’m scared of it’, but now I have my own addiction to it. I’ll tell you that. It’s addicting being in that ring and training and finding myself especially finding the younger me that wanted it so bad,” she said.

Guerrero is working on debuting in some wrestling capacity this year.
