5 former Superstars WWE helped in real life

#3 Vickie Guerrero recalls how Vince McMahon helped her

Vickie Guerrero was featured on WWE TV back in 2005, during Eddie Guerrero's feud with Rey Mysterio on SmackDown. Following Guerrero's untimely passing, WWE gave Vickie Guerrero a job and she went on to become a heel authority figure on WWE TV.

A short while ago, Vickie Guerrero put up a tweet to promote her upcoming autobiography, and heaped praise on WWE and Vince McMahon, crediting them for helping her after Eddie's death. She revealed that WWE helped her with debts and lawsuits, among other things.

Since 2006, @wwe & myself came to the agreement of @wwe owning the rights to Eddie’s image, name, and likeness! Vince was my saving grace from lawsuits with Eddie’s ex, debt, and other legalities to be settled! More details to come in my autobiography, out soon!

Vickie Guerrero became involved in a romantic angle with Edge on SmackDown, back in 2007-09, and was one of the most hated heels in WWE at the time. Vince McMahon helped her earn a living and not struggle after Eddie's passing. Vickie left WWE in 2014, and has made occasional appearances since then.

Last year, Vickie made an appearance on AEW TV, and later revealed that it led to WWE "cutting her off".

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
