In recent years, WWE has continued to pay homage to Eddie Guerrero through Dominik Mysterio – who was a part of Rey Mysterio’s feud with him back in 2005 – but they also brought back the WCW faction, Latino World Order. In his letter, Mysterio told Guerrero about his faction returning to WWE. “WWE brought it back in early 2023, as a new group of me and some talented young Latino wrestlers. And maybe at first it was supposed to be this short-term, ‘nostalgia’ thing. But then so many fans loved it … and the merch sales went crazy … and now almost three years later it’s still going,” he wrote.
Mysterio also added that WWE held Backlash in San Juan, Puerto Rico – the first time in 18 years that the promotion has held a show in the country – and that it was a major success with one of the best crowds in the company’s history. However, the best part wasn’t the show itself, but how it’s connected to Guerrero. “A major reason for that show was the influence of this Puerto Rican rapper named Bad Bunny — he’s the biggest artist in the world right now,” Mysterio explained. “Guess what?? He grew up a huge wrestling fan. Want to know who was one of his favorite guys??? I’ll give you a hint, it’s in his lyrics: ‘Guerrero como Eddie / que viva la raza, yeh.’ How’s that for full circle, WeeWeeto.”
