Eddie Guerrero asked for the world title to be taken off him in mid-2004 as he saw the declining ratings on SmackDown and took it personally. In the process, he elevated JBL into main event status, with the latter also having only one world title reign in the promotion.

Guerrero was scheduled to be a part of a triple threat match between Batista, Randy Orton, and himself. There were reports that he was scheduled to win the World Heavyweight title, but The Animal disputed these claims later on.

However, it's only speculation at this point, and none of it matters in the grand scheme of things, especially considering how his life tragically ended in November 2005.
