When Eddie Guerrero sadly passed away in November 2005, the wrestling world lost one of its true greats. While talking about his passing, Stephanie McMahon heavily implied that had Guerrero not died, he would have won the 2006 Royal Rumble and World Heavyweight Championship in the main event of WrestleMania 22, which seems plausible as Rey Mysterio would win the match in Eddie's honour.

However, former WWE writer Court Bauer noted on the MLW Radio Network that early WrestleMania match discussions were in progress at the time of Eddie's death, however, he winning the Royal Rumble was not apart of this and the plans were for him too actually have a RAW vs Smackdown match with Shawn Michaels. Former WWE and Impact executive Bruce Prichard has since confirmed all of this as true.

Eddie Guerrero and Shawn Michaels never had the opportunity to have a match, which is a huge shame as both are among the greatest of all time and surely would have put on a classic.
