#4. Rey Mysterio won it for Eddie Guerrero at WWE WrestleMania 22

At WWE WrestleMania 22, Kurt Angle defended his World Heavyweight Championship. Rey Mysterio and Randy Orton stepped up to the Olympic gold medalist for the title.

The match was held five months after Eddie Guerrero's demise. Mysterio won the Royal Rumble match before the event to make his way to WrestleMania.

He was made part of the storyline because of his relationship with the late WWE Superstar. Vince McMahon believed the crowd would blindly support Mysterio and would go wild after his win.

However, things didn't go as planned. The unpredictable fans in Chicago booed Mysterio throughout the match.

Angle spoke about how the moment was emotional and that Mysterio deserved to win the title for Eddie. The match had a really good and emotional buildup, making the entire storyline worth it.

"I think it had a lot to do with it because, you know, like I said before, Rey Mysterio has never been booed out of the building. And this was the first time for him. And I think that Vince McMahon saw that as a, 'Oh, okay, maybe Rey isn't quite as over as I thought he was.' And I think that might have affected Rey's title run. But the whole match was based on Eddie Guerrero and his remembrance. So Rey winning the title, nobody was going to stop that, and that was the right decision. Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio deserved it," said Kurt Angle.

It turned out to be one of the most emotional storylines for fans of Eddie Guerrero. It was great seeing Mysterio win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship for his late friend.
