Former WWE and ECW Champion Appears on 'TNA iMPACT'
Shelby Reeves/Chillicothe Gazette / USA TODAY NETWORK

A former titleholder under the WWE and ECW banners made an appearance on "TNA iMPACT."

TNA Wrestling has had its share of surprises in recent weeks. The company has been invaded by the likes of NXT Champion Oba Femi, Cora Jade, Wes Lee, and many other familiar names on WWE's developmental brand. The company has even signed former "WWE Raw" superstar Elias, who is now known as Elijah.

Fans who watched the March 20, 2025 episode of "TNA iMPACT" were in for some "Latino Heat." Chavo Guerrero, the nephew of late WWE Hall of Famer Eddie Guerrero, appeared inside El Paso County Coliseum for his first TNA Wrestling booking since 2019.

AJ Francis and KC Navarro had Guerrero as a guest on "First Cla$$ Penthou$e." Francis and Navarro disrespected the El Paso crowd before Guerrero interrupted them. Francis called Guerrero an "old-timer." Frankie Kazarian then made his entrance and told Guerrero that he's not welcome back in TNA.

Guerrero had some backup, and he brought out The Aztec Warriors. He challenged Kazarian, Francis, and Navarro. The challenge was declined, but the match was teased by TNA Wrestling commentators for next week.

Guerrero made his debut for TNA Wrestling on the July 26, 2012 episode of "Impact Wrestling." He captured the TNA World Tag Team Championship with Hernandez twice. Guerrero was released from the company the following year.

He returned to TNA Wrestling during "Operation Overdrive" on Sept. 13, 2019. He shared the ring with former WWE superstar and current AEW on-air personality MVP. The two had another match the following night on the "Victory Road" card, and MVP defeated Guerrero to capture the WCR Heavyweight Championship.

Guerrero is a former four-time WWE Cruiserweight Champion. He also captured WWE tag team gold twice with his uncle Eddie. Guerrero's biggest title win occurred on Jan. 22, 2008, when he defeated CM Punk to capture the ECW Championship.
